Analysis of the first half of the imported fruit market in Jiaxing in 2022

From January to June, the transaction volume and value of the Jiaxing Haiguangxing Fine Fruit Mall decreased by 21,19% and 20,95%, respectively, year on year. In terms of varieties, fruits from Southeast Asia accounted for more than 70% of the total. Due to the impact of the pandemic, the entry of Southeast Asian fruits into the Chinese market is not easy, the purchase volume is small, and the price naturally increases. In general, due to the pandemic, the inspection and testing of imported fruits at various ports have become more strict, so the overall logistics speed is not as good as before. Therefore, the commercial market for imported fruit is limited by sources and the overall scale of transactions has been affected.

This year's durian market is also up and down. April to September is the main selling season. Sales in these months normally exceed 10.000 tons. From April to June, durians from eastern Thailand are basically on the market, while from July to September, they are mainly from southern Thailand. Therefore, there will usually be a peak in trading volume in May and August. Prices also fall naturally as supply increases. This year's peak was delayed due to the impact of the pandemic.

The Chinese market has a limited supply of durian imports with high market demand. At least so far, it has not reached a state of saturation. Thailand has also caused the purchase price to rise due to tight supply. Second, the high cost of transportation and logistics is also one of the main reasons for the high price of durian. But in the same way, Thailand's exporting countries are also not diverse, and in recent years, Thailand's durian production has increased, and the planting area is also expanding rapidly. In fact, the growth rate of durian imports in China is not as fast as the growth rate of production. In addition, the import volume of durians from neighboring countries such as Malaysia and Vietnam is increasing, and the competition is becoming fiercer. So barring any big surprises, the future for durians is generally bearish.

Since the pandemic situation in China basically stabilized in May this year, the logistics flow slowly, and the market is gradually opening up. Also, there is no competition from the Vietnamese mangosteen this year and the Thai mangosteen has given way to a bumper crop. Compared to last year, production has increased by around 38%. The reason is that the production was influenced by bad weather and quality problems last year. In addition, this year, the mangosteen increased the amount of land transportation, speeded up the supply, and the market has enough supply. Thailand's mangosteen has ushered in a wave of a good market. According to statistics, in the first half of the year, mangosteen transaction volume increased by 86,12% year on year; transaction value increased 29,62% year-on-year; the average price was RMB 28,68/kg, 30,36% lower than the previous year.

In addition, cherries and blueberries among imported fruits are undoubtedly leading products. Consumer demand for Chilean cherries is strong every year. According to statistics, in the first half of the year, the transaction volume and value of imported cherries increased by 20,37% and 30,26% year on year, and the average price was RMB 74,66/kg, a increase of 8,22% year-on-year. in the year. Since China has become the world's largest importer of cherries, cherry imports are growing at an annual rate of 20%.

In January, as the cherries shipped from Chile gradually reached the Chinese market, the price gradually fell from more than RMB 1000 per box (5 kg) to RMB 500-600. The main varieties are Santina, Lapins, Rainer, Kordia and Bing, which have become the first choice of high-end fine fruit for many buyers. It is accurate because imported cherries have uniform standard quality, complete and fast cold chain transportation, and reasonable and safe packaging that have won the favor of most merchants and consumers. However, due to the postponement of this year's harvest and the impact of the pandemic, the arrival of Chilean cherries is not large and the price has remained high.

In the first half of the year, the transaction volume and value of imported blueberries increased by 46,18% and 108,99% respectively year on year, and the average price was RMB 43,26/kg, an increase year-on-year of 42,97%. , which is also increasingly favored by consumers.
