鳄梨进口量飙升
鳄梨进口量飙升

          


        In recent years, the demand for avocados is increasing in the imported fruit market. Exports from Latin American nations such as Mexico and Chile are rising by about 250 percent a year. 
      “More people are paying attention to healthy lifestyle and avocados meet that need,” said Zhang Hui, a sales manager at Fruitday, an online food delivery company. China has almost no experience in avocado cultivation, which means imports are likely to dominate the market for years. 
       Mexico began exports to China in 2011, when the avocado was still “a very rare fruit”. But last year the country was overtaken by Chile as the main exporter to China.
