The typhoon "Mangkhut" drew the attention of various industries. From the perspective of the fruit industry, the typhoon caused a two-day break in fruit transport from south China to north China, including fruit transport from Southeast Asia via south China to north China. Wholesale prices in many areas increased. This typhoon, which is named after the 'mangosteen' fruit, will undoubtedly have a great impact on the fruit market prior to Chinese Spring Festival. The typhoon followed the trajectory shown in the map below: Trajectory of typhoon Mangkhut This map shows that the typhoon passed through the following major fruit production areas: The small oranges in the orchards of Sihui City in Guangdong were not able to endure the strong winds of typhoon Mangkhut, but orchards in neighboring Guangxi narrowly escaped; the papaya, dragon fruit, and pineapple plantations in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, all suffered greatly. Damaged oranges The entire southwest region of Guangxi suffered from the typhoon, including major production areas of dragon fruit, pineapples, oranges, bananas, and mangoes. The typhoon lost much of its strength by the time it reached Yunnan, but one or two days of heavy rain still worried many farmers, especially in banana production areas in Hekou and Pomegranate production areas in Mengzi. Uprooted orange trees As for imported fruits, transport of dragon fruit and durians from Vietnam to China was interrupted for two days, which resulted in a price increase for Southeast Asian fruits in north, central, and east China. The typhoon may also influence the maturation of dragon fruit. Source - http://www.freshplaza.com
