It is expected that Chilean cherizi will begin to be listed in large quantities in about two weeks. Vanguard international, the world’s leading fruit and vegetable supplier, pointed out that Chile’s cherry production will increase by at least 10% this season, but cherry transportation will face supply chain challenges.
According to Fanguo international, the first variety exported by Chile will be royal dawn. The first batch of Chilean cherries from Fanguo international will arrive in China by air in the 45th week, and the first batch of Chilean cherries by sea will be sent by cherry express in the 46th or 47th week.
So far, the weather conditions in Chile’s cherry producing areas are very good. Cherry orchards successfully passed the high incidence of frost in September, and the fruit size, state and quality were good. In the first two weeks of October, the weather fluctuated slightly and the temperature decreased. The flowering period of late maturing varieties such as Regina was affected to a certain extent.
Because cherry is the first fruit harvested in Chile, it will not be affected by the shortage of local water resources. In addition, Chilean growers still face labor shortages and high costs this season. But so far, most growers have been able to finish orchard operations on time.
The supply chain is the biggest challenge facing Chilean cherry export this season. It is reported that the available containers are 20% less than the actual demand. Moreover, the shipping company has not announced the freight of this quarter, which makes importers face greater challenges in budgeting and planning. The same shortage exists for the upcoming air transportation. The departure delay and congestion caused by the epidemic may also lead to the delay of air shipment.
