China: Start of Mengyin cherry picking season
Mengyin county produces peaches, cherries, apricots and plums. The indoor peach season is about to come to an end. It will be followed by the new cherry crop, of which picking has just started.
Currently, Mengyin County has a cherry plantation area of over 800 hectares, on which over a dozen cherry varieties are grown. Next week, the cherry picking season will start, and their cherry supply can last until Mid June. Judging by the current harvest situation, this season's cherries are excellent in quality and the yield looks promising as well.
