Warm winter hit China's Water chestnuts production

According to news from major trading companies, the warm season in southern China has severely damaged crops, while canning manufacturers are raising prices to compete for raw materials.

"The crop is very poor," said the company's latest report. The peak of the harvest is generally January / February; the Chinese New Year is at the end of January this year, and the local fresh market almost takes up the whole harvest, because people are going to prepare for the two week holiday. "

Manufacturers hope that the fresh selling market will weaken after the festival, but this has not happened, and the price will not drop as the season ends.

Eleocharis dulcis, commonly known as the Chinese Horseshoe, is actually not nuts but aquatic vegetables because they grow in water and in mud. They are usually collected in winter, because they prefer cold water. Growers in China, Vietnam and Thailand often alternate water chestnuts planting in paddy fields, because these two crops are very convenient to supplement each other during the growing season.

"Canned manufacturers are fighting for any supply, just to fulfill their own contracts," said Mr Lai, who told the company. The price of water chestnuts cans has risen sharply, up to 30 - 40% compared to last year's prices. We expect that the market will remain very stable and high, and there may be a shortage later this year. "
