China will become the largest export market of Australia's

Explosion in Chinese demand for citrus of Australia.

Chinese demand is absolutely phenomenal according Citrus Australia. In 2011, 1st exports represented 11-12 containers, in 2012 nearly 110 containers, and this year already 8000 tons.

New market, China could eclipse the United States (until now first customer for citrusvof Australia) for the first time this year. And become the largest export market of Australia.

According to Citrus Australia, this surge in demand is explained by the increase of the middle class in China. There is almost a food scandal a week. The issue of food security becomes important, thus 73% of Shanghai residents have lost confidence in local products. So, anyone who can afford to spend more, will go to buy imported products.
