B2B site helps sales of African agricultural products

From September 26th to 29th, the second China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo was held in Changsha, and African agricultural products attracted the attention of many exhibitors. In fact, many Chinese companies are already pushing African agricultural products into the Chinese market. As a Hunan enterprise focusing on agricultural e-commerce, cnhnb.com has more thoughts on using e-commerce channels to promote the sales of African agricultural products in China.

Founded in 2013, cnhnb.com is an agricultural industrial B2B platform developed and operated by Hunan Huinong Technology Co., Ltd. cnhnb.com collects ten categories and more than 20,000 kinds of conventional agricultural products. Among them, there are about 200 kinds of agricultural products from Africa on the platform. According to the big data of the platform, the scale of African agricultural products entering the Chinese market is expanding, and the transaction is showing a growth trend. It is expected that there is still a lot of room for future transaction growth.

Russia-Ukraine conflict harms Serbian apple exports

 Zoran Keserović, chairman of the Serbian Vojvodina Fruit Growers Association, said that since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Serbian apple exports to Russia have been affected, and it is expected that the total export volume will decrease by 25%, and may even exceed 30%.

It is understood that about 80% of Serbia's apples are exported to the Russian market. After the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the country's apple exporters suffered losses.

Statistics show that in 2021, Serbian fresh apple exports to Russia will be worth about $108 million. Fruit growers say the situation is deteriorating, with disruptions in transport, rising prices and having to detour through Ukraine. Russia is expected to continue to increase fruit cultivation to meet its needs.

Keserović pointed out that before the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, it was expected that this year could be the hardest for Serbian apple merchants since 2007. Local apples have long relied heavily on the Russian market. They once exported more than 90% of their apples to Russia, and now they account for 75% to 80%.

It is reported that the total export value of fresh apples from Serbia in 2021 is 127 million US dollars, which is the eighth largest export product of its agri-food industry.

Struggling fruit farmers in China

 According to the statistics of Zhuochuang Data, as of February 10, 2022, the current storage capacity of the national cold storage is about 7.1928 million tons, and the reduction of the national cold storage is about 26.40 in two weeks (the Spring Festival holiday is involved in the middle, and the two-week combined statistics 0127-0209). 10,000 tons, the destocking rate of cold storage is about 21.05%. Compared with the few weeks before the Spring Festival, the shipping speed has dropped significantly. After the Spring Festival, the replenishment volume of customers in the market is far less than last year, and about 557,300 tons were shipped out of the warehouse in two weeks last year. The remaining 9.7235 million tons in the same period last year (as of February 11, 2021), the inventory is much smaller than last year.

Unsold fruit

In recent years, with the increase in the area of ​​orchards, the output has increased, resulting in a serious decline in prices, increasing production but not increasing income. Especially last year, due to the severe frost, the quality of apples declined, the rate of high-quality fruit was low, and the income of fruit farmers decreased, and many people lost money. As a result, the number of felled trees will increase, and the number of people who give up management will also increase. Xing many years later, the price of apples will rebound, I really don't know when this situation will appear.

Tips for Growing Fruit Sapphire Grape

There are many benefits to growing fruit trees at home, especially those that are simple and easy to grow. Not only do you not have to worry about management during the planting process, but also the abundance of fruits allows us to eat fresh, healthy and delicious fruits every year.

Today, I will introduce a relatively unique variety. Just like the picture, it is a very peculiar grape. Its name is as strange as its appearance, the Sapphire Grape.

This is a breed that originated in the United States and has actually been around for a while. This grape combines many advantages and is also a non-GMO fruit. It is a very rare grape variety.

This sapphire grape is very tasty, with a very high brittleness without feeling too soft and tasteless. It has more sugar than any grape, yet tastes fresh and non-greasy.
