This investigation on the seasonal trend of fruit markets in Changsha indicated that the
fruit varieties on the market in Changsha were abundant, up to 49 varieties; seasonal fresh fruits were
continuously provided around the year; most fruits were domestic produce from all over the country,
and about 39% of the varieties were imported mainly from southeast Asia, America, New Zealand and
Brazil; the imported fruits and a few kinds of domestic fruits were higher in the quality grades than
most domestic fruits, which accounted for approximately half of the total fruit volume; and fruit prices
varied markedly with fruit varieties, quality grades and time of marketing. In a word, the Hunan fruit
industry must increase fruit quality and diversity in order to achieve a favourable position in the strong
international competition.
