Hainan province is one of the country's main banana producing regions, and here prices have been steadily rising. In Yunnan province the banana harvest season is coming to an end. It is also hard to find low-priced bananas here. Rain is expected to hit Yunnan in the coming days. This will make transport harder and could drive prices up further.
On May 25, the average price of wholesale banana was 4.58 Yuan / kg, this slight increase is mainly caused by the limited supply of bananas from the cultivation areas.
