China: Rising avocado prices and plums from Australia and Chile

Tridge summary

The Chinese market for imported fruits, particularly stone fruits like plums, is experiencing significant changes due to supply issues and seasonal fluctuations. This year, the late supply of Australian plums has led to an increase in sales of Chilean plums, which are currently experiencing higher prices and reduced supply compared to last year. The market is also seeing the arrival of Chilean stone fruit like Candy Red cherry plums and nectarines, as well as the end of the Chilean avocado season and the beginning of the Peruvian season, which has more than doubled the avocado prices. Other imported fruits like grapes, lemons, and kiwis are also available, with their prices and availability varying. The domestic blueberry market has recently recovered after a decline, and yellow pitaya, a domestic fruit, is becoming more available despite its high cost.
