    Australian wine has already lost the Chinese market, and now, even Australian grapes are "panic"
    .


    It is worth mentioning that Victoria is an important producer of Australian table grapes


    According to a Reuters report on April 23, Australian table grape growers and industry executives said on the same day that their products had encountered "delays" in customs clearance at Chinese ports, and considered this to be another sign of the deterioration of trade relations between the two countries

    Jeff Scott, CEO of the Australian Table Grape Association, said: "In the past three weeks, table grapes have suffered long delays at the port
    .


    There are about 400 or 500 containers, which will cost 5 more than normal.


    "The fruit is refrigerated, so there is no rot, but to try to avoid delays, the goods will be shipped from one port to another, and Australian farmers will bear this part of the cost
    .

    Scott also said that most of the delays occurred at ports in southern China, especially in Shenzhen
    .


    Exporters have not been informed of the reason for the delay, but they say that exporters from other countries have not experienced the same delay


    After reviewing the blocked exports of Australian barley, beef, cotton and seafood products to China, Reuters said that the "delayed customs clearance" referred to by Australian grape growers may be the latest case
    .

    Last year, Australia exported 152,000 tons of table grapes worth 622 million Australian dollars (about 3.
    13 billion yuan)
    .


    According to Australian government data, China is the largest buyer of these Australian exports, buying 40% of them (about 60,000 tons)


    In addition, Reuters mentioned in the article that the Australian Foreign Minister recently announced the tearing up of the "Belt and Road" agreement
    .

    Australian Foreign Minister Payne announced in a statement on April 21 that the “Belt and Road” memorandum and framework agreement signed by China and Victoria, Australia had been cancelled by the federal government of that country
    .


    Payne claimed that "this agreement is not in line with Australia's foreign policy


    The Australian Table Grape Association website shows that Victoria contributes 70% of Australia's total production
