U.S. cherries are always a prominent product in China during summer. This year, though, the beginning of the season has reached the lowest values in recent years.
In the first part of the season (the end of July) cherries were sold in Chinese supermarkets for $11.50 (83.9 Chienese yuan) and in some instances reached lower prices dipping at $2.45 (17.9 yuan) for 250 grams of product.
