14 June 2019 - Media Release - Fresh Plaza

Peaches originated in China and the variety of peaches in this country is enormous. Many overseas countries have begun peach plantation as well. In the end, however, China remains the largest producer of peaches in the world.

Mr. Zhou Wei of Shenzhen Fresh Cat Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. is a peach expert. He shared his analysis of the Chinese peach market: "The price of peaches is currently quite high. As far as I know, that has everything to do with the poor weather conditions last year. Frequent frost greatly affected many fruit production areas during blossom season. The result was a decline in production volume. The ever-popular apples and pears were most severely affected. This year, however, consumers are less eager to buy apples and pears because their price is quite high, which is the result of a limited production volume. Consumers turn around and look for alternatives. I think this is the main reason for the high price of peaches this year. Consumer demand grows and so does the price. I estimate that the apple and pear supply shortage will resolve in August. The price will then come down."

"Our company produces different peach varieties. Most of the surface area in our plantation is devoted to Pan peaches [Peach of Immortality]. Three Pan peach varieties already entered the market: You Pan Peach 63-3 (a small peach grown in Shandong, which earned the online nickname 'button'); the You Pan Peach 36-5 (a medium peach that weighs around 150-200 grams, has a sugar content of 18 degrees, and has yellow fruit flesh); and the You Pan Peach 7-7 (a large peach that weighs around 300-400 grams and has a sugar content of 18 degrees)."

"We have our own plantation in Shaanxi where we grow different peach varieties. We also provide farmers with plantation technology and seedlings. A profound understanding of fruit quality is the key to success in the peach market. We also invest much time and effort in the proper production and packaging of our peaches. The peaches easily damage and require good packaging for protection. Market requirements for peaches are not that high. We maintain higher standards for our own peaches, which creates a certain pressure. We currently sell our peaches through traditional retail channels and e-commerce platforms. We sell our peaches throughout China in such stores as Huarun Ole, BLT, and Rainbow department store, as well as through online shops such as Tmall, JD, and SF Express."
