Xiamen to Host 2001 Int'l Fruit & Vegetable Expo

Xiamen, Fujian Province is going to hold the 2001 China Int'l Fruit & Vegetable Industry Expo scheduled October, co-sponsored by the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific and the Ministry of Agriculture, announced the Organization Committee of the Expo lately in Beijing.

Since reform and opening up in 1978 there has been witnessed a fast development in China's fruit and vegetable production. In 2000, these had given China an output value totaling over 350 billion yuan, ranking second and third respectively among the country's three major industrial sectors of planting, hence a great raise of the international status of the country's fruit and vegetable production in world markets. Currently, China has become the world's No. one fruit and vegetable producer, with a vegetable yield taking up 65.7 percent of the world, apple and pear ranking first, and orange world third only after Brazil and the US.

Liu Jian, vice Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture said that vegetable and fruit production is an important part of the effort for a restructuring of the whole agricultural sector and a key project of increasing farmers' income. He said that the 2001 China Int'l Fruit and Vegetable Industry Expo will be a great challenge to China's impending entry into the WTO and an expansion of exports of these will greatly promote the modernization, industrialization and internationalization of this industry.
