Why is the price of cherries so much lower in January than in November?
According to the Beijing News: my country's demand for cherries has been met by imports all year round. Although many regions in the country have introduced cherry tree species for cultivation in recent years, the overall output is relatively small. At present, the domestic cherry market is mainly dominated by foreign varieties, and with the increase in demand, my country’s import volume of cherries is increasing.
GlobalTrade data shows that in 2018, mainland China accounted for 41% of the world's imported cherries, Hong Kong, China, 11%, and Taiwan, China, 1.8%. China became the country that imported the most cherries in the world.
In the following years, import volume increased. In 2023, China imported 347,000 tons of cherries from around the world, with the import value reaching 18.57 billion yuan.
Where do all these cherries come from?
According to data from the General Administration of Customs, more than 90% of domestically imported cherries in 2023 will come from Chile. In fact, cherries can be eaten in our country all year round. In May and June, the domestic cherry market is mainly supplemented by Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and other countries. In July, August and September, the import source is mainly from In the United States and Canada, starting from October, Chilean cherries began to mature and be imported into my country.
Due to the high output and large export volume of Chilean cherries, December and January during the mature season are the seasons when my country imports the most cherries. The reason why domestic cherries prices are so high in November is first of all because of the low production volume, and secondly the high cost of air transportation. When Chilean cherries mature in large quantities in December and January, the mode of transportation becomes sea transportation, which greatly Reduce costs to a certain extent.
