Spanish crisp persimmon wins battle for export

In the past few days, Spain has started to export the new season of oranges to China. Even though access takes a long time, traders are very enthusiastic about the Spanish oranges. At the very beginning of the new exporting season, not only Spanish oranges came to the Chinese market early. Clementines also made an early start. Moreover, the sweet tasting Spanish crisp persimmon has appeared on the market. It has become a remarkable highlight in the import market.

Due to the weather conditions, the Spanish oranges are clearly smaller than previous years, with an obvious reduction of the proportion of large fruits. At the same time, it rained heavily for a whole week in one of the main Spanish production regions, Valencia. This caused the production volume to show a clear decline, as the whole supply of Spanish oranges moves towards a tight spot. But it is worth noticing that in comparison to last year, the oranges are arriving earlier. At present, the oranges that are delivered to China mostly come from the Southern regions in Spain. The main variety is Navelina. Although these orange may still be a bit sour, a case of Spanish oranges (mostly 10 kg) is still more exquisite than the American oranges that are arriving in the same period. The oranges are fragrant and juicy. Last week, the first container from the famous Spanish Frutaria family business was transported by sea. The reception of the oranges on the market was good, regardless of the affirmation of the taste and softness of the oranges by buyers.

While the Spanish oranges were traditionally packed in cases of 10 kg. Small cases of 2 kg were also promoted at the same time. These cases gave the oranges a very exquisite appearance.

When comparing the Spanish oranges, the Spanish crisp persimmon may not be the most famous. But during this season they became the highlight of the import market. A reason is that there are absolutely no fresh persimmon in China to supply the market at this time. Also the Spanish crisp persimmon itself has a very clear and sweet taste that caters very well to the demands of Chinese consumers. The quoted price may not be cheap (a case of 16 oranges goes for around 160 RMB), but still many end retailer shops are willing to give them a try in small amounts. For the Spanish export market, this is without any doubt a good start.
