"A direct flight with cherries from the USA and Canada arrived at Hunan Changsha Huanghua International Airport on July 15th. The shipment weighed around 105 tons and included cherries from the USA and Canada, as well as blueberries.
The Canadian cherries came from the BC Okanagan production area. The product variety was Lapin and the size around 9.5 and larger. The US cherries came from Washington. The product variety was SweetHeart." This is according to Elvis Hu of Hunan Fruit-mate Agricultural Science and Technology Co., Ltd.

"The annual import volume of cherries continues to grow as cherries become more popular among Chinese consumers. The variety of cherries available in the market also grows richer. The cherries from BC Okanagan have a clear advantage over other varieties in the market. First, the weather conditions in the lake district of BC Okanagan are well-suited for the growth of cherries. The warm, clear days and cool, refreshing nights extend the growing period of cherries. The cherries are sweet, which makes them quite popular with Chinese consumers. Second, the cherry production season in BC Okanagan begins every year around June and lasts until late August. The cherries produced during the peak production period between late July and early August arrive neatly during a festive period in the Chinese calendar around the Mid-Autumn Festival [September 13th, 2019]. The cherries are popular festive gifts."
