    Recently, the Australian Trade Commission (Austrade) announced that Australian stone fruits have entered the export season
    .
    On October 29, Australia's LPG Cutri Fruit Global shipped the first batch of 8 tons of peaches and nectarines from Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur by air
    .
     
    Australia's exports of peaches and nectarines mainly rely on air transportation, and during the epidemic, they are faced with the challenges of shortage of logistics services and rising prices
    .
    In order to promote the export of agricultural products, the Australian Federal Government has connected 9 Australian ports with 58 international destinations including China, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates through the International Freight Assistance Mechanism (IFAM)
    .
    The current IFAM plan has been extended to mid-2022, covering the entire stone fruit export season
    .
     
    LPG Cutri Fruit Global is one of Australia's largest stone fruit growers, with orchards located in Victoria and New South Wales.
    It also purchases fruit from growers in Shepparton and Cobram
    .
    40% of the company’s fruit is sold in Australia and 60% of the fruit is exported.
    Its main customers are located in China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Middle East and Canada
    .

     
    The person in charge of LPG Cutri Fruit Global said that since the outbreak of the epidemic, the company's export and domestic sales ratios have changed
    .
    They are trying to use different packaging to extend the shelf life of the fruit, and the fruit has been shipped to Canada and the Middle East for testing
    .

     
    According to the forecast of the US Department of Agriculture, the output of Australian peaches and nectarines in the 2021/22 season will increase slightly by 5% compared with last year, reaching 110,000 tons
    .
    With labor shortages and improved air transport conditions, the export volume of peaches is expected to increase by 15% to 15,000 tons
    .

     
    Over the past 10 years, exports of Australian peaches and nectarines have been on the rise
    .
    From 4,000 tons in the 2007/08 season to 15,500 tons in the 2018/19 season, the export volume has increased nearly four times
    .
    The increase in export volume is mainly due to Australian nectarines gaining access to the Chinese market.
    Australian nectarines were exported to China for the first time in the 2016/17 season
    .
     
    It can be seen from the chart that China is the largest export destination of Australian nectarines, and the export volume reached its peak in the 2019/20 season
    .
    In the 2020/21 season, affected by the epidemic and trade relations, exports of Australian nectarines to China began to decline slightly
    .

     
    In fact, according to data released by the Agricultural Bank of Australia (Rural Bank), Australia's fruit exports to China in the 2020/21 season have dropped by 35%
    .
    Among them, grapes fell the most, reaching 40%, followed by oranges with a 37.
    9% drop
    .
    In contrast, the decline in exports of nectarine to the Chinese market is not large, and it is expected that Australian nectarine exporters will still face pressure in the 2021/22 season
