Peru prepares to export frozen fruit to China

The Minister of Agrarian Development and Irrigation of Peru, Ángel Manero, reported that the country is preparing to export frozen fruit to the Asian giant's market. “We are talking about fruits such as avocados, blueberries and mangoes, which do not go to the traditional home market, but to restaurants, hotels and supermarkets,” he explained in statements collected by Midagri. The Peruvian agricultural representative also pointed out that the protocols for Peruvian pomegranates and pecans are on the verge of being formalized, which could be finalized during the visit of the Chinese Customs Minister next September. Manero specified that export expectations are important, since "in fresh fruits alone we are exporting 300 million dollars to China and with this new income we could increase 30%."
