It is reported that the Sugarbee® apple is the exclusive apple variety of Chelan Fresh, the leading company in the American fruit industry. This launch ceremony is the first official launch event of Sugarbee® apple after entering the Chinese market.
Wang Miao, China Marketing Director of the Washington Apple Association, said: "Sugarbee® apples are grown in Washington State. Thanks to the nutrient-rich soil, dry climate and advanced planting techniques of orchard growers, Washington State produces far more apples than any other state in the United States. Relatively strict grading and advanced packaging and storage facilities mean that Washington apples are always one of the high-quality apples in the industry. "
George, CEO of Frutacloud said that he is very optimistic about the potential of Sugarbee® in the Chinese apple market, especially for holiday gifts.
"First of all, Sugarbee® apples have a very high-level appearance, with a round fruit shape and a bright red color as the main color. In terms of taste, due to their affinity with Honeycrisp apples, SugarBee apples not only inherited the sweetness and crispy feeling from Honeycrisp apples, they are even better."
"In addition, the supply period of Sugarbee® apples coincides with Christmas, New Year's Day, New Year Shopping Days, Spring Festival and other festivals that have a strong relationship with red, which provides a series of opportunities for the sales of Sugarbee® apples. For this reason, Frutacloud has specially tailored 8-piece selected gift boxes for Sugarbee® apples, which are exclusively for channel sales during festivals."
Zheng Jiaqi, head of Shanghai Jinguo Trading and Hechengfeng Fruits, also said, “The demand for high-end apples in the Shanghai wholesale market is also increasing. There are more high-end apple choices, and I am also very much looking forward to the performance of Sugarbee® this year!"
