On January 13th, 2018, the joint meeting for Guangxi citrus production and marketing and the meeting for technology exchange in the citrus industry were held at the Nanning Conference Center. Over 100 purchasing merchants, like the Ali Baba Group, the Chu Cheng Group, the Dong Tai Fruit Industry, as well as citrus business associations, and over a thousand fruit growers and businesses from related industries came from far and wide to participate in the exhibition.
According to the presentations, the Guangxi citrus industry has developed quickly in recent years. The plantation surface area and production volume account for 40% of annual fruit production in this area. It was the first fruit in Guangxi to reach a production value of 10 billion yuan [1,552 million USD]. Citrus has already become the number one fruit in Guangxi.
