With the gradual relaxation of domestic prevention measures against COVID in China, the demand for fresh pears has surged in the past two weeks. Investigating the reason, there was a related report earlier, which introduced that eating stewed pears can relieve some of the symptoms caused by COVID. In traditional Chinese eating habits, fresh pears are known for promoting body fluids, relieving coughs, and nourishing the lungs. Therefore, fresh pears have become very popular recently.
"The surge in demand drives up the price at the production area, and the price increases vary for different varieties." Mr. Gavin Bian from Hebei Tianbo Fruit Industry, who is also the secretary-general of the Pear Branch of the China Fruit Distribution Association, told FreshPlaza.
"For example, the price of Xuehua pears has nearly doubled, and the price of Ya pears and Huangguan pears have increased by 40% and 50% respectively. In terms of sales, taking the wholesale market in Shenyang, Northeast China as an example, the sales volume of pears in recent days is higher than that in normal years. During the same period, it increased by nearly four times. Wholesale markets in different regions have also increased their pear purchase, and both sales and prices have risen."
"Chinese people have the habit of eating pears in autumn and winter. The fruit can be eaten fresh or boiled. The recommendations in the report are also in line with the eating habits of Chinese people. Therefore, the recent increase in demand only occurs in the domestic market. In terms of export markets, the demand is relatively weak. In addition, according to observations in the past two days, the price of fresh pears has gradually stabilized than before, and the future market trend should change with the development of the pandemic in China and the supply and demand relationship of fresh pears."
"In recent years, Ya pears and Huangguan pears from China have been included in the quarantine meals of some Southeast Asian countries during the pandemic. I hope that the medicinal value of pears will be shared by people all over the world. This will help the sales of Chinese pears, and also help the Chinese pear industry and rural revitalization in pear production regions." Mr. Bian introduced.
Hebei Tianbo Fruit Industry Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in different fresh pear varieties such as Huangguan pear, Ya pear, and red crispy pear, which are mainly exported to the United States, Canada, Mexico, Israel, and Southeast Asian countries.
