Recently, the reporter learnt from Nantong Agricultural and Sideline Products Logistics Center that the price of 5 jin J-grade cherries is between 120 and 130 yuan per box; 150 to 160 yuan per box for 2J grade; 180 to 190 yuan for 3J grade; and 200 to 220 yuan per box for 4J grade.

The business owners introduced that Santina variety of cherries is the most common type. Regina and Kordia varieties also gradually appear in consumers’ sight. Among them, Kordia variety is known for its large size and sweet taste, especially the 3J grade Kordia cherry. In the past, its price was quite high. This year, the price has dropped.

The decline in the price of Chilean cherries is mainly due to the increase in production and reduction in logistics cost. Apart from that, the optimization of transportation methods has also reduced the cost. As the largest importer of Chilean cherries, in the past few years, China has implemented a series of facilitation measures for the import of Chilean cherries.
