"The pomelo export season usually begins in early August and lasts until the end of the following January. Nationwide, this year, the pomelo production is expected to fall 10-20% compared with last year and domestic market prices and export prices will be higher than in the previous quarter." said Mrs.You from the Zhangpu county Yicai Fruit & vegetable Co. Ltd.
"In 2016, neither the export output nor the prices were satisfactory. The prices in the short and medium term were even lower than the cost of planting, which was caused by multiple factors. Firstly, the global market was in a poor shape. Secondly, in order to gain a place in the international market, many export companies engaged in price wars. Thirdly, a lot of low quality pomelo was sold at high prices, mainly to Europe and other overseas markets, which created a certain amount of sales pressure for a company like us who rely on quality and honesty. "
"In contrast, so far this year, the pomelo export situation has been better. On the one hand, the production of some main producing areas fell by up to 20%. On the other hand, the enthusiasm of farmers was affected by the low market price last year, so the volumes of good quality fruit have been significantly reducing. It is expected that the export volume and prices will both rise, but the specific circumstances will be more clear in two months."
"Our company was established in 1997 and is located in Zhangpu county of Fujian province. We are a trading company that combines fruit and vegetable production, processing, storage and exports as one integrated industry. We mainly sell the pomelo, citrus and local fresh vegetables, and we have an area of 2000 acres of pomelo base in Pinghe county and 1500 acres of citrus base, as well as 4 processing plants. Our annual production capacity is 30,000 tons. We produce high quality pomelo and export through the port of Xiamen under the brand of 'ZPYC' to the EU, Russia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Canada and other countries. Our annual export volume is about 1000 containers. I hope that we will be able to further develop the Nordic market in the near future, meanwhile, let the European consumers see the high quality of our pomelos."
