I\u2019m joining 27 California food companies as part of a trade mission supported by the California State Trade Export Program and facilitated by the Fresno Center for International Trade Development. This mission is truly bringing a taste of California to Chinese consumers.<\/p>\n<p>China is our fourth largest export destination for agricultural products, representing more than $1.4 billion in exports. Our tree nut, fresh fruit, wine, cotton and dairy farmers enjoy great results and have increasing export potential within the market.<\/p>\n<p>Accompanying me on this mission are fresh fruit exporters from Lodi, tortilla chip makers from Fresno, an export trading company from Los Angeles, and many other companies representing some of the best products California has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>My visit included a meeting with the Shanghai Longwu Imported Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Trading Market, where fresh California citrus and cherries were available and on prominent display. Importers from the market spoke about the high quality and diversity of California products in China and that, in some cases, demand is surpassing available supply.<\/p>\n<p>With growing competition from South America, California fruit imports remain strong, but are not experiencing some of the robust growth that is occurring with Chile, Peru and other markets. Prospects are optimistic for California, but we need to work harder\u00a0to achieve greater market access for products (such as strawberries) and reducing tariffs on a host of\u00a0products. Chinese fruit importers are looking for new, flavorful products and believe California, with its great diversity of offerings, can help meet this growing consumer demand.<\/p>\n<p>One of the interesting marketing channels I was able to observe in Shanghai was an actual channel, as in television &#8211; the Shanghai SMG-CJ Home Shopping Co., Ltd. Live\u00a0TV sales of California food products on the channel are very successful, with more than one container of product&#8211;1,600 cartons&#8211;sold every 30 minutes. The sales and promotion there stress California\u2019s reputation for freshness, taste and quality.<\/p>\n<p>Shanghai is a dynamic market and I look forward to spending time with participating companies and the great staff at the U.S. Department of Agriculture\u2019s Agricultural Trade Office in making further inroads for California food products.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1885\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG-20120611-000152.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1885\" class=\"wp-image-1885 size-medium\" title=\"IMG-20120611-00015\" src=\"https:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG-20120611-000152-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"The studios of the Shanghai SMG-CJ Home Shopping Co., Ltd\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG-20120611-000152-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG-20120611-000152-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1885\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The studios of the Shanghai SMG-CJ Home Shopping Co., Ltd.
