This year's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Meeting will take place in Peru. As APEC members, China and Chile share a long history of friendly exchanges and have developed strong ties. In recent years, their economic and trade relations have flourished, with Chilean cherries gaining increasing popularity in the Chinese market.
In this video, Hernan Garces, president of Garces Fruit, shares the remarkable journey of the Chilean cherry, from its first export to China in 1997 to its explosive growth following a bilateral free trade agreement. Today, Chilean cherries are not only a symbol of pride for Chilean agriculture but also represent purity and good fortune in Chinese culture. As trade between the two nations continues to grow, both countries benefit from this thriving fruit market.
