The first deliveries of Arancia Rossa di Sicilia PGI to the Chinese market were successfully completed last March. Arousing the curiosity of Chinese consumers. Exported volumes will be larger for this campaign.
A few days ago a Chinese delegation led by Michael Guo, president and founder of Beske, a company that imports food and beverages for the Chinese market, came to Sicily.
Meetings were held with the organizations Arancia Rossa di Sicilia IGP and Distretto Produttivo Agrumi di Sicilia as well as with 6 companies producing and packing oranges.
"The red oranges of Sicily have the good characteristics to succeed in our market," said Besko's CEO. This suggests a sharp increase in volumes exported to China.
