Most of the Asian pears mature in July – August, the Zaosu pear in June – July, the Green Jewel is late July, the Ya pear is August and the Nanshui late August.
“Our pears are packaged based on the demands of the market, and come in 5kg, 10kg and 18kg telescope carton and 7kg and 13.3kg open cartons. We also have 3, 4 and 8 clam shells in cartons and can supply Christmas gift packaging and fashionable plastic packages.”
“Our different customers prefer different packaging. Our North American customers like the Sand Pear in clam shells, generally in open carton. The European and American markets like the 5kg, 10kg and 18kg telescope cartons. Some customers will also request the cartons be put on the pallets, as doing so can save manpower and reduce the cost.”
The pears are sold under the brands “Great Wall”, “Pretty Lisa” and “Fresh”.
