As the temperatures continue to drop, winter fruit is gradually entering the market. Seasonal fruit, like oranges and tangerines, has taken the lead on the fruit market. Shatangju oranges and honey tangerines are the most popular, and have high sales. Towards Sha Tin pomelos, on the other hand, the market is quite indifferent, and their price is pretty hopeless.
It is now the time for large quantities of Sha Tin pomelos to enter the market. They usually enter their peak season with other citrus fruit, but the market is now quite uninterested. Many distributors have dropped their prices to 4 yuan per kilogram, but still only very few customers purchase the fruit. In the past few years, Sha Tin pomelos have developed in the e-commerce. Many customers can now buy them directly online. They do not have to go to a retail store anymore to purchase them. Therefore, retail stores are unable to sell them and are reducing their supply of pomelos.
