CONSUMPTION OF IMPORTED FRUITS GIVEN A RISE DURING MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL

The Mid-Autumn Festival is nearing, not only traditional baked mooncakes and sticky rice mooncakes but other items as fruits are becoming more animated. This is an indispensable part to make a full-moon tray.

This year, besides several traditional fruits, imported ones are also prevailing. In the recent years, such fruits as Korean grapes, American peaches, Australian cherries, Japanese watermelons…are always sought-after items during the first and fifteen day of the lunar month. Consumers are tending to use these fruits as they believe in the better quality. In spite of higher prices, the demand for imported fruits is still rising./.
