We export a variety called “Orin” from Aomori prefecture to Hong Kong.

In Hong Kong, Japanese green color varieties (Orin, etc.) are more popular than Japanese red varieties (Sun fuji, etc.).

Red varieties are popular as gifts for the Chinese New Year, so the period

before the Chinese New Year is the highest demand season.

On the other hand, Orin is popular as a general household fruit, not as a

gift, so it is continuously exported even after Chinese New Year.

Currently,

The technology for maintaining freshness such as CA (Controlled Atmosphere)

refrigeration and Smart Fresh treatment has also been improved, making it

possible to supply delicious Japanese apples throughout the year.
