While attending Asia Fruit Logistica, FreshPlaza took the chance to visit a store in Hong Kong. The most expensive product was Spanish grapes sold at €11.2/kg, while the cheapest were Royal apples (as cheap as €1.50/kg). The supermarket was located in the Kowloon district, prices are converted from the local currency (Hong Kong dollar).
