Demand for wild blueberries seen rising in China

Having been promoting and advertising Canadian wild blueberries for eight years in a row in China, Neri Vautour called this year the best and most exciting time during his latest tour in the country early in November.

And the director executive of Wild Blueberry Association of North America - Canada attributed all this to the help from a little creature: bumblebees.

"By 2014, we weren't really ready for the China market because of the low quantity of wild blueberry harvest. But now, the time is just right for China with our products," as Vatour told China Daily, after a blueberry tasting and briefing event toward retailers and restaurants in Shanghai.
