Again in December, Australian cherries are in harvest season. However, this year, the price of this cherry is not cute and affordable, not rich and expensive!
Speaking of Australia`s big cherries, it can be said that people love, in Australia, it is every Christmas must eat fruit.
However, recently, many friends who like to eat cherries find that Australian cherries, which are delicious and cheap in previous years, are not only much less this year, but also very small, and most importantly, fried chicken is expensive!
Ordinary cherries at the Coles supermarket have sold for $19.9 a kilogramme! More expensive than fresh steak!
A lot of Australians can`t afford to eat.
As a foodie, the editor can not help but ask Cang Tian asked the earth, what happened, so that Australian cherries become the exclusive enjoyment of the earth?
First of all, this year Australia this ghost weather, a variety of low-temperature, rainy, and strong winds! This spring alone, Tuao rainfall is 26% more than in previous years.
And cherries belong to the relatively selected fruit to the environment, so under the heavy wind and torrential rain, the cherries worth more than 60 million Australian dollars have been directly blown away by the wind.
It doesn`t matter, Australia can have a harvest of 1.8 million tons of cherry every year, as a result, the actual cherry yield this year is only half...
All Australia is facing a cherry shortage!
Coles also posted a notice of apology on the cherry shelf. Soothe the broken hearts of your foodies.
However, in addition to the wind and rain, there is another reason that Coles did not mention.
That is, most of the good Australian cherries this year have been bought out by the people of the motherland!
In recent years, there has been a cherry boom in China, and the cherry in Australia has become the best choice for a group of Chinese people to give gifts in the past few years, according to the Australian Journal of the People`s Daily.
Last year`s cherry harvest season, Australia exported a total of $74 million in cherries, and about 55 million Australian dollars have been bought by the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, China and Taiwan.
The fervent pursuit of Australian cherries by the Chinese also makes many Chinese businesses see business opportunities. So a "buy" operation was launched.
Five of the six large cherry plantations recently sold in Tasmania were bought by Chinese buyers. Other smaller plantations can`t escape the same fate. Over the past year, Chinese local tycoons have spilled money, swung their sleeves and took 67% of Tasmania`s orchards for sale.
According to Phil Pyke, Business Development Manager at Fruit Growers Tasmania,
Mainland China and Hong Kong, China, have unprecedented demand for our cherries, outpacing our supply. Local growers are looking to expand their operations to meet demand, but they lack the money, and Australian investors are mostly uninterested, so Chinese entrepreneurs have stepped in. The reality is that Australians will not buy these farms.
(Min Quan Shi) Shimminquan, a businessman from Harbin, has bought two cherry and mixed fruit orchards in Coal River Valley, northwest of Hobart, Tasmania, since early 2015.
Orchard under the brand of Coal Valley Orchard, specifically to provide fruit to China and Taiwan …
Selling the finest cherries from Tasmania to the people of our country is in fact indisputable, but it is inevitable to make this year`s shortage of cherry production even worse!
As we all know, Australia is a very strict food safety control country, with absolute high standards and strict requirements for fruits exported overseas.
The size of the cherry allowed to be exported from Australia is 26 mm, and the largest export size can reach 34 mm. Any cherry factory will have the direct intervention of the goverment supervision department, carries on the whole process monitoring. If smaller cherries are found to be smaller than 26mm, they will never be exported overseas, but directly into Australia`s local market.
So there`s an Australian net on the Web that the harvest is good, and most of the big cherries are exported to China... For the people of Australia, it`s all that...
"all the good goods are sold to China, leaving us with rubbish."
It`s a real pain in Australia to eat the people... Last time, because the people of the country are buying milk, many Australian mothers have no milk...
This is because the motherland people to send cherry gifts, so that many Australian foodie face the price of ultra-high cherry cry for days …
Sometimes it doesn`t seem like it`s a good thing to be too rich.
But then again, as one of the editor`s favorite fruits, I still want to give you an Amway of our big Australian cherries …
Why Australia`s cherry is the best in the world? (P.S Australian cherry exporters see this article please consciously pay the editor advertising!)
The number one geographical location and environment in the world
Australia`s best cherries are all made at 45 degrees S, the end of the world-Tasmania.
Tasmania is close to the South Pole, so it has a very different climate from the rest of Australia, which is a very long winter. In this way, many plants will be covered with snow and enter a dormant period. This is even better for cherry trees, which are not affected by any pests.
When it comes to spring, when the weather gets warmer, and then into summer, Tasmania comes to one of the most special periods, and why is it special, because sufficient daylight can reach at least 14 hours a day? Let cherries be fully exposed to the sun and absorb the essence of nature.
In addition, the area is dry, so the rainfall is not much, the rainfall is not much, the sugar of the cherry will not be taken away by the rainwater, so that the sugar can be fully accumulated, so how can the cherry not be sweet? (This is why this year`s cherry harvest is not good, too much rain! )
In addition, Tasmania`s air quality is known to the world and has the reputation of the world`s last clean earth.
Cherry planting area, often very small population, no industrial pollution, so cherry growing environment is not only high quality soil, but also very high purity of air. High-quality air provides a lot of negative ions, which allow plants to breathe perfectly.
As a result, Australian cherries are ranked first in terms of skinny, crisp, sweet, freshness, and all dimensions.
Things are precious!
Speaking of cherries, there are many big American cherries and Chilean cherries on the Chinese market. Chilean cherries produce one hundred thousand tons a year and American cherries produce more than three hundred thousand tons a year.
And Australia`s cherry, what do you think of the annual output? The average annual output is only 18,000 tons...
Things are rare, this is an old ancestor taught us the truth, on Australian cherries are equally applicable …
How to avoid buying fake goods?
Due to the high reputation and good quality of Australian cherries, there are a lot of Australian cherries on the Chinese market.
In fact, the method of true and false Australian cherry is simple, but if you eat in your mouth, it`s not delicious, sweet, not fresh, or when you bite, it`s not the cherry of Australia.
Australian cherries, that`s how confident they are!
OK, don`t say, now cherries are so expensive, the editor will continue to move bricks to save money to buy cherries!
