    Recently, Chinese Ambassador to Chile Niu Qingbi was invited by Iván Marambio, president of the Chilean Fruit Exporters Association (Asoex), to attend the second "Cherry Blossom" event in Romeral, R.
    de Maule, Chile, to inspect local cherry plantations
    .
    The event also kicked off the new season of Chilean cherries
    .
     
    The Chilean edition of Time reported that Niu Qing said that at this stage, China is ready to receive the new season of Chilean cherries, especially in virus
    testing and logistics.
    For Chilean exporters and Chinese consumers, cherry exports are important, so both sides should join forces and do everything in their power to solve problems
    that may arise in the export process.
     
    Chile's agriculture minister, Esteban Valenzuela, noted that nearly 90 percent of the cherries exported by Chile are destined for China
    at "very good prices.
    " Despite the difficulties of the 2021/22 season, more than $2 billion of Chilean cherries were sold to China
    .
     
    "If all goes well, we could approach $3 billion
    this season.
    " "Great technological changes, plenty of sunshine in the cold season, combined with abundant rainfall in north-central and south-central Chile, give us hope
    for a new season," he added.
     
    Marlambio said cherries have become Chile's main export fruit, with exports higher than table grapes
    .
    "So far, China is the largest export market
    for Chilean cherries.
    "
     
    According to data released by Asoex, Chile exported a total of 356348 tons of cherries in the 2021/22 season, of which 313237 tons were shipped to China
    .
    In addition, Chile is expected to remain the world's leading exporter of
    cherries in the 2022/23 season.
