China's fruit industry suspended due to COVID-19


February is a traditional Chinese Spring Festival holiday, and the factory will not resume work until the Lantern Festival.

However, February this year is different from the past. Because of the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, China will be in a state of shutdown throughout February. It is not clear when to resume work.

New crown epidemic broke out in China

The new crown epidemic was first discovered in Wuhan, but it was close to the Spring Festival in China, which caused most provinces and cities in China to be affected by the epidemic.

The main fruit producing areas in China, including Xinjiang, Shaanxi, Shandong, Hebei, and Fujian, have also been affected by the epidemic.

The main impact of the epidemic on China’s fruit and vegetable industry

The epidemic has two main impacts on China’s fruit and vegetable industry in terms of production and circulation, one is a work stoppage order, and the other is the logistics partition.

Because the government issued a work stoppage order, even after the 15th day of the first month, before the epidemic was clearly controlled, Chinese factories could not resume work, so the corresponding products could not be produced and assembled;

At the same time, in order to avoid the spread of immunization, people and vehicles are not allowed to cross borders between provinces, cities, and even villages in China. As a result, even products that have been processed cannot be transported normally.

In addition, because of the isolation order, shopping and consumption were also suspended.

China’s fruit and vegetable industry will be basically suspended in February

In addition to the protection of people’s livelihood and the protection of fruits and vegetables as a necessity of life, the remaining social and commercial fruit and vegetable industries will be suspended in February.

The trend and development of the fruit and vegetable industry in March will depend on the progress of China’s epidemic control.

From the current point of view, China’s epidemic air defense strategy is quite successful. The world has also given China great assistance. Overcoming the epidemic will be a time-consuming process.
