The past 9 months have also witnessed a positive growth in the imports and exports of Guangdong’s agricultural products to major countries or regions around the world except for the European Union, according to the Guangdong Sub-Administration of the General Administration of Customs of People's Republic of China.

Among the export categories, dried and fresh fruit and nuts valued 2.34 billion RMB, showed the highest year-on-year increase of 80.2%.

Guangdong’s Meizhou is one of the main production areas of grapefruit in China. A huge number of grapefruit plantations there adopted the method of ecological planting in 2022. Locally-grown grapefruit are high in sugar and are well received at home and abroad, said a local farmer.

So far, Guangdong has approved 195 provincial demonstration bases for agricultural exports and is continuing its support for exports in this field.
