Daily Consumption Promotions Continue

Of course, it’s not just about gifting. With fewer people traveling to their home towns this year for the Spring Festival holiday, the first several days of the Year of the Cow present a greater opportunity for at-home cherry consumption in China’s big cities. Efforts to get consumers to choose cherries for meal and snack occasions during the day will run throughout the holiday and beyond.

The Chilean Cherry Committee is on track to complete more than 14,000 in-store promotion sessions in conjunction with over 20 leading retailers during the 2020/21 cherry season!
