February 5th will mark the end of the Chinese New Year festivities, with the last event under the framework of a traditional celebration, the Lantern Festival.
While the Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, marks the beginning of the season, the Chinese Lantern Festival is the milestone that marks the end, as the last day of the celebrations. The lanterns symbolize people leaving the past year behind and welcoming the new year with good fortune.
This holiday is still based on traditions and food, where the Chilean cherry is regaining importance, as an increase in demand for the fruit is expected.
This is due to the fact that during Week 5, prior to this activity, approximately 1,193 containers are expected to arrive on 8 ships, with Cisnes and Cautín standing out with 751 TP3T of the total cargo. Cisnera would be the last large ship of the season, since it alone represents 571 TP3T of the volume, with 679 containers.
In turn, and for week 5, it is expected that among the varieties that will dominate the markets would be Regina 65%, Sweetheart 15%, Lapins 8%, Kordia and Skeena with 10% of presence.
It is worth mentioning that some people still wait until after the Chinese Lantern Festival to return to work or study.
