Kwek Global Pte Ltd has agreed to a one container per week shipping program with a Chinese producer and packer of blueberries to import and distribute to the Singapore market from the beginning of March 2026.

"We have decided to import the blueberries Chinese in March 2026 because we need to avoid direct competition with maritime shipping blueberries from Peru and Chile. blueberries Companies in South American countries have a price advantage because they operate on a guaranteed minimum price basis. Furthermore, blueberries "Chinese products will have high demand and a high price from December to February, due to holiday periods such as Christmas, New Year and Lunar New Year, which will boost domestic sales," explains Hong Chew Kwek, CEO of Kwek Global.

Because there are many producing regions in different parts of China, Kwek Global can source blueberries almost 12 months a year. The main producing regions of blueberries China's plantations are located in Yunnan and Shandong, while other areas such as Xinjiang and Liaoning also have plantations.
