According to reports, in recent years, Zhongli Group has exported lychees to European, American, Middle Eastern, Southeast Asian, and South American markets. This concentrated export of 60-plus tons of Guangdong lychees marks the comprehensive launch of Zhongli Group's 2025 Guangdong lychee export season, with expectations of a 30% increase in lychee exports this year. Simultaneously, a key agricultural base in Gaozhou, Maoming, engaged in lychee exports, has also prepared nearly 10 tons of standardized packaged early-ripening Feizixiao lychee variety, ready for export to Australia after passing customs quarantine. In recent years, Maoming has vigorously promoted lychee preservation integrated technology, extending the preservation time of some lychee varieties from 6 days to 1 month. This year, Maoming has added 5 new export countries and regions, increasing the total to 22, with an anticipated 110% growth in lychee exports.

[Korea Agricultural and Fisheries Newspaper Export Specialist Reporter Dong-kwang Lee] The Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency (hereinafter referred to as the Quarantine Agency) announced that domestic Shine Muscat can be exported to Australia starting this year. According to the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency, only Campbell Early and Kyoho grapes have been exported to the Australian market since 2014. In the case of Shine Muscat, it was actually difficult to export due to the strict fumigation quarantine requirements required by Australia. Grape farmers and the export industry have continuously requested the opening of the Australian market in order to expand overseas sales channels for Shine Muscat, which is oversupplied domestically. The Quarantine Agency has been discussing Shine Muscat exports with Australian quarantine authorities since 2024.
