As of the end of March this year, Australia's nectarines, plums and other fruit exports to China approached 5,000 tons, as opposed to 1900 tons in the same period last year: an increase of 167%. (Source: Summerfruit Australia). There is a gap of nearly 100% between the 49 yuan a pound of Australian peaches and the 5 mao a pound of Zaoyang peaches, which is quite embarrassing.
Although the overall level of domestically produced fruits is not comparable to imported fruits, many fruit growers in some advantageous producing areas have accumulated considerable experience in planting; they have also been able to produce standard quality products on a large scale, and their quality is sometimes even higher than the imported fruits. So why are these high-quality fruits still unable to achieve greater influence in the market?
A big reason is that the quality of China's fresh industry supply chain is lagging behind. From the place of origin to the supermarket, the quality of the product gets greatly reduced during the intermediate circulation.
