With the Spring Festival drawing near, imported fruits like cherries and kiwi fruit entered their peak seasons. Statistics from Ningbo Fruits and Vegetables Wholesale Market showed that the wholesale price of fruits dropped sharply as imported fruits like cherries recently entered the market in large quantities.

"Cherry has been the favorite fruit for local consumers in recent years, and its price has been relatively high. As the harvest season of cherry arrives, its prices also dropped substantially. It is the best time to buy cherries now. The wholesale prices might go up again ten days before the Spring Festival, ” said a fruit wholesaler. Most of the cherries sold in Ningbo are imported from Chile and Australia.

In addition to cherries, the longan from Thailand and kiwi from New Zealand are also poplar with consumers. The wholesale price of longan from Thailand is priced about 15 yuan per kilogram, the price level similar to last year. As kiwi is to be out of season soon, the price is expected to go up slightly.
