China: Blueberry production increases by nearly 30% a year
Chinese producers have focused on the cultivation of blueberries because of the increase in domestic consumption and the demand from other countries. As a result, they have gone from producing 800 tons, to about 1,200 tons in the last year. Some of their most outstanding varieties are the Northland, Bluecrop, and Big Duke varieties, which are characterized by their resistance to cold. These varieties are marketed from April to August, both in China and in other countries.
"We do not know how many kilos we should project to export, since it is the first year that we do this. We are willing to send our blueberries to anywhere that requests them and we have different containers designed for different markets," said Hua Wang, from Qingdao Fumin Blueberry Professional Cooperatives.
