The General Administration of Customs in Mainland China recently announced that "quarantine pests" have been detected in pineapples produced in Taiwan (called pineapples in Taiwan), and therefore imports have been suspended from March 1.

As soon as the news came out, it attracted many online markets and retail outlets to import Taiwanese pineapples, which were pre-sold for sale. However, the pre-sales were "sudden" and they were not available for immediate sale.

The reporter of "Hong Kong 01" found out last night (5th) that Taiwanese pineapples were for sale at a market in Jordan. The price was 15 yuan each, which was half the price of pineapples in the Philippines. The stall owner said, "The taste of pineapples is not the best at present. At the time of construction, no one wants to put it up on average, and it sells 15 mosquitoes on weekdays!" He also pointed out that if the weather is hot in July and August, it will be "see the truth." "If it can't be sold, it will be a real "export"." asked. When he considered whether Taiwan's pineapples were recently "popular" and increased their prices, he said, "If you don't know anything about it, even if it sells out, it's a hype!"

The General Administration of Customs of Mainland China recently announced that "quarantine pests" have been detected in pineapples produced in Taiwan (Taiwan called pineapples). Therefore, the import of pineapples from Taiwan has been suspended from March 1. Taiwan's pineapples were immediately "purchased online" in Hong Kong. , Some items are available today.

In fact, Taiwanese pineapples arrived in Hong Kong on the evening of Thursday (4th) and were distributed to retail outlets for sale.

A reporter from "Hong Kong 01" found that Taiwanese pineapples were sold at a market in Jordan at a price of only 15 yuan each. The prices of the relatively common Philippine pineapples and golden pineapples were roughly 30 to 35 yuan each. The price is half the price, and the details are similar. So far, no public has noticed that the Taiwan pineapple that is currently "snap-up" is just buying the large Taiwanese daffodil which is next to it.

The person in charge of the market stall, who did not want to be named, said that the Taiwanese fruit cargo ship arrived in Hong Kong recently and only bought a few boxes when the price was reasonable. There are still two boxes in stock for sale, and no public is rushing to buy them.

Regarding the recent popularity of Taiwanese pineapples in Hong Kong, he lamented: "Hong Kong people are ignorant and have a lot of money; it's just political tactics, Hong Kong people, they won’t be able to sell it? I won’t come to Hong Kong in July or August. Tell me first! Someone usually pays attention? It's a trivial matter of pineapple at all."

He said that some fruit products from Taiwan are not as stable or as delicious as other places. Take pineapple as an example. In the past, many Hong Kong people liked the Philippine variety. "It’s hot. It is available all year round, the goods are fixed, the appearance is beautiful, and the home is in the season? Taiwan is not hot enough to be made, usually the goods are late and stable. If you really do business, you can understand it, don’t wash it. It’s a hype. When it was built, no one wanted to rack it. Usually, it sells two racks of 15 mosquitoes!" When asked if he had considered increasing the price due to the "hot rod," he said, "I don’t know it, it’s sold out. Forget it, hype!"

He thinks that this year's Taiwanese fruits are not good, and the popularity phenomenon is a means of sales. It is not because of being suppressed, and asked him if there are other Taiwanese fruits that he believes are of good quality and reasonable prices. He said, "In recent years, "Wendan" It’s so famous, it’s not a good food, but it’s too important, it’s too expensive! The other fruits are mediocre, Sakyamuni, this one is a specialty!"

The reporter visited the Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market a few days ago to find out that Mr. Liu, a clerk at one of the stalls, said that Taiwan pineapples were indeed sold last week at a reasonable price, about 30 yuan each. Therefore, the sales are good, but Hong Kong people generally prefer the Philippine varieties.

In addition, the reporter went to the Yau Ma Tei fruit market a few days ago to learn about the sales of Taiwanese pineapples, but at that time there was still no source of goods to Hong Kong. The clerk of one of the stalls, Mr. Liu, said that there were indeed Taiwanese pineapples for sale last week at a reasonable price, about 30 yuan. One, because the sales volume is good, but Hong Kong people generally prefer the Philippine variety. When asked about the better quality of pineapples from two places, he said, "It used to be difficult to buy food in Taiwan, because the Philippines can be exported all year round. All kinds of (pineapple) cores can be eaten, and they are all sweet enough. In fact, they are not bad, but they are not as big as the Filipino ones. They taste the same, but they don’t last for a while. The source of goods is much more stable than that of the Philippines.” It also pointed out that there are indeed one or two in recent days. The customer asked if Taiwanese pineapples were sold. They weren't very popular, but they said that they weren't the best-selling products in the past.
