Trade in oranges and the Chinese New
Year 橙子贸易和中国新年by ITC News 由ITC新闻提供
Did you know that the orange is one of the most common food symbols of the Chinese New Year? Oranges are a popular symbol of good luck and are displayed as decoration or exchanged as gifts among friends and acquaintances during the 16-day festival.
你知道橙子是象征中国新年最常见的水果之一吗？在16天的节日里，橙子是一种好运的象征，朋友和熟人之间把橙子作为交换的礼物或者作为装饰而展现出来。在2016年，中国内地和香港特区分别是第五和第六大橙子进口国，共进口498.535吨橙子，价值在5.14亿美元。占到全球橙子进口总量的10%。美国、澳大利亚和南非是中国市场的三大出口国。
Despite the huge flow of oranges going to China each year, is there still an appetite for more? Apparently there is.
尽管每年都有大量的橙子进口中国，但中国是否仍有更多的需求？显然是有的。
According to ITC’s Export Potential Map, the total untapped potential remaining in China and Hong Kong is around $330.1 million. This suggests that other orange-producing countries such as Egypt, Turkey and Morocco could further grow their exports by targeting the Chinese markets, with a combined untapped potential of almost $14 million.
根据美ITC出口潜力地图，中国和香港的未开发潜力约为3.31亿美元。这表明了其他的橙子生产国家，如埃及、土耳其和摩洛哥这样的橙子生产国，可以通过瞄准中国市场进一步扩大出口，而这些国家的潜在市场还未被开发的潜力接近1400万美元。
Gong Xi Fa Cai! Happy Chinese New Year!
恭喜发财！新年快乐！
