Quality of Bananas in the Philippine market stable in the Chinese Market while those from Cambodia and Vietnam of Lesser Quality

In China, the imported bananas in some sales channels are green bananas from brands. The brands have their own warehouses and teams to ripen bananas. Some channels do not have additional warehouses and do not have their own ripening teams so they need a separate company to provide the relevant supporting services. The imported bananas in the market mainly come from Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, South America, the Philippines, etc. Generally, the quality of bananas in the Philippines is stable. The quality of bananas in Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos is not as good as that in the Philippines, and the current customs clearance situation is also unstable.

The wholesale price in the Guangzhou market of ripened Philippine bananas is CNY 115-120 (USD 17.04-17.78) /13kg, the one for ripened South American bananas is CNY 110-115/13 (USD 16.30-17.04)/13kg, CNY 95-110 (USD 14.08-16.30) /11kg for Laos-origin ripened bananas, and CNY 105-115 (USD 15.56-17.04)/13kg for ripened Vietnamese bananas.
