"The first two containers of Uruguayan mandarins arrived in China in optimal condition," said the Minister of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries (MGAP), Tabaré Aguerre.
Aguerre said they were only awaiting an inspection before formalizing the protocol to market blueberries, corn, and barley. He also noted that they were expecting a new inspection to enable honey shipments.
The Uruguayan minister, who is with an official delegation in China until Wednesday 26, said Uruguay had sent two containers of mandarins to China to test the fruit's resistance to its freight period.
Among the commercial prospects, the Uruguayan delegation visited an internet marketing platform. "The fruit is purchased this way by companies that have 100,000 employees that are engaged in distributing those sales," Aguerre said.
Uruguay must also position itself within the e-commerce sector, especially considering the digital advantages that Uruguay has over other countries in the region, he added.
