The recovery of the overall economic environment has sent positive signals to the market. Since the lifting of pandemic restrictions, China's major wholesale fruit markets have been active. At the same time, retail sales activities have increased. Supply chain operations have fully resumed and the overall fruit business has improved. The recovery of the fruit industry can be directly reflected in this year's International Fruit Fair.
The fair has already been held for 2 consecutive years, and thanks to the joint efforts of colleagues from the global fruit industry, it has become a unique platform for trade and communication in the Chinese market. This fair has received a lot of praise and recognition. The 2024 International Fruit Fair will return to Shanghai with a new look. This Yangtze River Delta event, which has an influence throughout the country, has been designed for the fruit industry, with the aim of exploring the unlimited business opportunities in the fruit market.
Points to highlight
- It will be held in the city of Shanghai with influence throughout the country.
Shanghai is one of the most densely populated and economically developed cities in China, as well as one of the most important port cities in the country. Therefore, it has a significant market share in the fresh fruit import sector. Shanghai Port has the fastest customs clearance, the most diverse import channels, and the most favorable tariff policies, etc.
Shanghai is currently building a world-class maritime transport hub. In the first three quarters of this year, Shanghai saw double growth in imports and exports, with the total value of imports and exports reaching a record high of 3.17 trillion yuan in the same period in history, up 2.71 t/t3t from the same period last year. It is worth mentioning that Shanghai is an important distribution center for fresh fruit imports, attracting a large number of importers who choose to import goods through this port.
Shanghai is only two hours away from several major domestic wholesale fruit markets, and is located at the intersection of three economic zones: Shanghai Economic Circle, Hangzhou Bay Economic Circle and Taihu Lake Economic Circle. At the same time, due to its geographical location, it also enjoys a favorable transportation location. Goods can easily be distributed throughout Northeast China, North China, South China, Central China, Northwest China and Southwest China. The aim is to let the Chinese market know and import more high-quality fruits.
- A professional fair for fruit growers themselves
The Shanghai International Fruit Fair, organized by the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Foodstuffs, Native Products and Animal By-Products and the China Fruit Marketing Association, is the first trade exchange and exhibition platform initiated by fruit growers themselves. The professional organizer of the fruit industry has a variety of resources, and the position in the industry determines the professionalism of the organizer. Therefore, it helps to meet the actual needs of fruit growers and help fruit enterprises solve the problems in the business process. The fair brings fruits from all over the world to the Chinese market and makes it a truly professional fruit exhibition.
