China is set to increase its cherry production by seven percent to 450,000 tonnes for the 2020/2021 season, covering 153,000 hectares of land across several provinces.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had minimal effect on production, with good lice quality and optimistic market expectations for high-quality cherries. Investments in greenhouse cultivation and plans to build 'cherry factories' aim to extend the cherry supply season within China.
