According to the Tianjin Inspection and Quarantine Bureau's employees analysis, the main reason why Tianjin port got less fruit in the first half of this year is down to the continuing prosperity of the national market. The appearance, packaging and marketing of Chinese fruits are on the same level with imported ones. Prices of domestic fruits are lower, while the taste and quality are ever-more appreciated by customers. All those factors influenced prices and imports. However, there are fruits that still have the same high import. For example, bananas account for more then 70% of all imports. The import rate of coconuts from Tailand has been increasing rapidly, it is 21 times higher than in the previous year.
