January 23rd, 2012 The allure of strong Chinese New Year prices draws fruit exporters from around the world to Hong Kong each year, where containers are discharged and either distributed locally or re-shipped to mainland Chinese destinations. Ahead of celebrations kicking off today (Jan. 23), Chile sent significantly more cherries to the continent in addition to the influx of U.S. apples, Peruvian grapes and fruit from other destinations, leading to a breakdown in port capacity. At www.freshfruitportal.com we hear from two Chilean exporters about what went wrong in Hong Kong. http://www.freshfruitportal.com/2012/01/23/fruit-overload-hits-hk-with-chinese-new-year-logistical-collapse/cherries1020-16/
