    Three weeks have passed since thefirst batch of Northwestern American cherries arrived in China
    .
    At the beginning of the American cherry season this year, due to the small domestic arrivals, the wholesale market prices were all above 600 yuan/carton, and the retail price exceeded 90 yuan/jin
    .
    But the good situation only lasted for about a week.
    After a large number of goods arrived in mid-June, the price fell all the way, and the current market price is almost close to being cut
    .
     
    It is understood that the latest price of the US cherry market on June 29, the price of the 9.
    5R grade is generally 300-350 yuan/carton (5kg)
    .
    The price of new goods will be much higher, about 400-420 yuan/carton
    .
    There are also merchants eager to clear the used goods, the lowest price even reached 230 yuan / box
    .
     
    The retail price has dropped from nearly 100 yuan a catty all the way to less than 50 yuan
    .
    According to the price of a fruit and vegetable chain platform, the retail price of Chelan 9.
    5-10R (equivalent to J grade) American cherries 500g packs is 49.
    9 yuan, and the whole box purchases 5kg packs for only 439 yuan
    .

     
    According to the latest forecast released in mid-June, the output of Northwest cherries this season will be slightly reduced, from 23.
    8 million boxes to 22.
    4 million boxes, which is about 203,000 tons
    .
    China (including Hong Kong) is the largest overseas market for Northwest cherries.
    This year, the Northwest Cherry Association of the United States stated that it hopes that exports to the Chinese market this season will increase to 2 million boxes
    .
    That is, 9% of the total output is exported to China, which is about 18,000 tons based on 20 pounds per box
    .
    But from the perspective of market prices, Chinese consumers do not seem to pay the bill
    .
     
      American cherries and domestic cherries have a certain overlap in the market time.
    Domestic open-air cherries are mainly on the market from April to June, while American cherries are from June to mid-August
    .
    The coincidence of time to market makes American cherries do not have an anti-season advantage like Chilean cherries
    .

     
      There are not many high-priced fruits in China's fruit market this year, and the prices of fruits in volume are generally low
    .
    Due to the heavy rainfall in spring, domestically-made open-air cherries have severe fruit cracking, and their prices are also polarized
    .
    Low-quality cherries are generally processed at low prices at the place of origin.
    The retail price of high-quality Meizao, red light and other varieties is generally 18-25 yuan/jin, and the retail price of non-originating areas can also reach about 30 yuan/jin
    .
    Faced with the same freshly marketed domestic cherries, American cherries from afar are more expensive
    .
     
      And the American cherries arriving this season are generally smaller in size, between 9.
    5R-10R, which is roughly equivalent to a J-grade larger
    .
    The retail price of domestic 3J-grade cherries is 50-68 yuan/jin.
    Consumers who like to "buy big and not small" may be more inclined to buy domestic cherries
    .

     
      In addition, this year's domestic cherries, in addition to the traditional old varieties such as Meizao, Red Lantern, and Sand Mito, also performed very well in new varieties such as Brooks and Russian No.
    8
    .
    Especially for Russia No.
    8, with its large fruit diameter and perfect taste, the price of large fruit is generally above 100 yuan/jin
    .

     
      At present, the peak of the production season of domestic big cherries has basically passed, and the market competitiveness of American cherries remains to be verified by the market
    .
