Hong Kong is ranked as the fifth-largest U.S. fresh fruits export market by value. Fruits from the United States generally enjoy a good reputation among Hong Kong consumers. Besides fruits from the United States, Hong Kong people consume a variety of fruits from around the world. Alongside changes in consumers’ lifestyle and an increase in health awareness, Hong Kong people demand new varieties and expanded options in addition to established items like apples, oranges, and bananas. Seasonality, nutritional values, and innovative aspects matter more as access to information is easier via mobile phones and social media. From over US$350 Japanese watermelons to the all-time favourite navel oranges, Hong Kong imported over 1.69 million metric tons of fresh fruits with a value over US$2.6 billion in 2017. Imports have been on the rise in the last five years.
