NEW ZEALAND CHERRY
New Zealand is the 9th-largest cherry exporter in the world. New Zealand cherries have gained a reputation for their sweetness and crunchiness. The cherry harvest in this country is around 5K tons annually, of which 3K-4K tons are exported, primarily to Asia. The predominant cherry production area in New Zealand is Central Otago, located on the South Island, which accounted for 90% of the country's cherry export. Their cherries are only available for 4 weeks, from mid-December to mid-January.
During December, most of the cherries are sold in the domestic market due to Christmas promotions. However, the volume of cherry increases significantly in January and 90% of the available cherries are exported to Asian countries, where they are a popular gift during Lunar New Year.
Due to the slight decrease in the New Zealand cherry harvest, experts expect the prices to rise slightly. However, the demand from the major importing countries in Asia will remain unchanged, as quality matters more than price when it comes to cherries. With Lunar New Year around the corner, it is expected that cherry exports remain strong.
