Europe Edition
Banana production in China is very high this year, resulting in low wholesale prices.
Until the end of September, banana wholesale prices hovered around 3.5 Yuan per kilogram. Prices did go up a little during the period of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Holiday, but started to drop after the holidays.
At this moment, best quality bananas cost around 3 Yuan per kilogram. Prices for normal quality bananas vary at this moment between 1.2 RMB and 2.4 RMB per kilogram.
