China: Pear volumes down 20% to 30% countrywide
"Our company has a plantation covering an area of 167 hectares in Qingdao which is used to grow all kinds of pears, like the crystal sugar pears, yellow pears etc. We possess our private brands 'O Nature' and 'All Fresh'. Except for June and July, we were able to supply sufficiently in all months of the year. 70 of the pears we grow are being sold in premium supermarkets and specialty stores for fruits, like the Pagoda stores. The other 30% crosses Xinjiang province or Manchuria, or goes to Singapore, Malaysia and other South-East Asian countries through the port in Qingdao. We also export to European countries like Austria and Germany."
"Because our methods are different, our pears have a penetrating taste, are full of sugars and are sufficiently moist. After cutting them open, they do not oxidize or change color. In the selection of markets and supermarkets abroad to which we have been selling, the reaction has been great. Our production is carried out under high standards, which has benefited us significantly. Our exports actually have not suffered after the European Union adopted new standards for pear imports. Considering the desired growth of our company, we would like to increase our exports and sell 40% to 50% of our products abroad."
