The tourism business in Northeast China, led by "ice city" Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province, has reached a historical high during the winter season, boosting sales of several related sectors such as locally produced cranberries.
Online searches and online sales volume of cranberries, cranberry juice, jam and dried cranberries have surged in recent days.
Earlier, not many people were familiar with cranberries produced in Heilongjiang, and consumers mainly bought them for baking and embellishments in cocktails.
But retailers have had to urgently restock, as sales of cranberries surged following livestreaming sessions, industry players said.
In return, Heilongjiang sent 100,000 boxes of premium cranberries to Guangxi.
The gesture went viral online, fueling the popularity of cranberries.
"Our warehouse has reported a shortage of fresh cranberries.
It is expected that based on the current booming sales, it will run out of stocks by the end of the month," said Dang Linguang, director of Ganfuyuan, a store for cranberries on Alibaba's e-commerce platform Taobao.
Dang said his store serviced more than 500 orders for cranberries on Jan 7 and over 1,000 orders on Jan 8 following the newfound popularity of the fruit.
The area extending from China's easternmost city of Fuyuan in Heilongjiang to Heihe on the Russian border is Asia's largest cranberry producing area.
The Greater Hinggan Mountains in Northeast China have been a major production area of cranberries, and domestic cranberries are only grown in some parts of the province.
In 2023, the output of cranberries at the base reached 2,700 metric tons, up 5.88 percent year-on-year.
Still, the domestic supply of cranberries in China does not meet the demand, and the country mainly imports cranberries from the United States, Chile and Canada, according to the local government.
Cranberries mainly grow in cold regions, and the main sales season falls between September and December.
"Cranberries prefer cool environments and require moist peat soil, as this kind of soil has good air permeability and drainage, which can meet the large-scale water harvesting requirements of cranberries," Dang said.
In terms of flavor, cherry, blueberry and cranberry have become the most popular flavors in the past three years, the institute said.
Within days, French red wine, dried cranberries from the United States and Ferrero Rocher chocolates from Italy materialized.
Cranberries are frequenting the lists of retaliatory tariffs imposed by nations in trade disputes with the United States.
And for US cranberry producers, the tariffs are crimping sales of the fruit that is a staple of American Thanksgiving dinners.
China, the European Union and Mexico — the top three markets for US cranberry exports and which together count for more than half of those exports — all are slapping tariffs on the bitter berry produced primarily in the US and Canada.
US cranberry prices have been falling since 2015, according to US Department of Agriculture (USDA) data.
Concerns about losing share in the increasingly important international market due to the tariffs have arisen among US cranberry growers, said Terry Humfeld, executive director of the Cranberry Institute.
Particularly affected are Wisconsin growers, who have been producing over half of US cranberries for more than a decade, at prices below the national average.
Approximately 250 Wisconsin growers, as well as cranberry processors, product manufacturers and others that rely on a strong cranberry industry will be affected, said Tom Lochner, executive director of the Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association.
“International exports are an important part of the Wisconsin cranberry industry and market.
The EU, Mexico and Canada are and have been significant purchasers of US cranberries, and China is a targeted growth market for our industry,” he said.
The European Union, the industry’s biggest importer for years, took in 16 percent more cranberries last year.
Both markets are now tightening for US cranberries, with the EU’s 25 percent tariff on US cranberry juice concentrate imports started June 22, and China’s 25 percent tariff on fresh and dried cranberries effective July 6.
For the top importers of US cranberries, there is an alternative.
In 2017, EU imports of Canadian cranberries increased 286 percent, according to data from the USDA.
China recorded a 328 percent increase in dried cranberry imports from Canada, as indicated in a USDA report.
Mark Mariani, chairman and chief executive of Mariani Premium Dried Fruit, which processes cranberries in Wisconsin, told The Wall Street Journal that China was his largest export market and that the orders just stopped.
“We remain hopeful that all parties involved can reach solutions that allow us to remain competitive in providing cranberry products to millions of consumers worldwide,” he said.
“我们仍然抱有希望，各方能够达成解决方案，使我们能够继续保持竞争力，为全球数百万消费者提供蔓越莓产品，”他说。
