First-ever pineapple shipment from Xuwen county reaches DPRK

Recently, 16 metric tons of fresh pineapples successfully arrived at the Democratic People's Republic of Korea after passing local customs inspection and quarantine. The pineapples came from Xuwen county, Zhanjiang city, in the western part of Guangdong province.

According to Chen Dasong, director of Xuwen Dachang Agricultural Cooperatives, it was the first time the county sold pineapples to DPRK, and the pineapple export would enhance fruit farmers' confidence to further expand to international markets in the following years.

Chen thanked local customs for providing convenient services and valuable guidance for the fruit export.
