Stop imports of pineapple, an unfounded rumor

 

 

No Chinese administrative decision (quality control, quarantine) was issued for Taiwan pineapple imports. The recent decline in pineapple prices can be explained by other factors.

 

 

 

Taiwan recorded adverse weather conditions that led to a decline in pineapple production. Producers have tried to compensate for this lack by harvesting fruits that are not yet ripe or of inferior quality. This did not satisfy Chinese consumers who bought a lot less than usual. Hence the price drop and the impression of an embargo on pineapple imports from Taiwan.
