Deep-processing plants are only running at 60–80% of capacity
Nov 2, 2026, Market watch
Deep-processing plants are only running at 60–80% of capacity. The reason is not a lack of orders. The reason is a lack of shared cold storage. Fruit and vegetables are selling very strongly. The goods sell, but the holding stage has not kept up. Freezing was created to untie this knot. Fresh goods fluctuate with the season. Frozen goods keep their quality all year round. Large orders also become much more manageable. But at the end of October, the rules of the game changed again. China issued Notice 150 of 2026. In nine months, China bought USD 4.72 billion. That accounts for 64.8% of the country's fruit and vegetable exports. Dossiers are streamlined from 20 items down to 10 items. Complete dossiers are approved within 3 working days. In return, incorrect data leads to code cancellation. Opening a market is not enough. Keeping a market is the hard part. A rule to remember: freezing preserves value. Standards preserve the market.
Key figures:
- Deep processing: running at 60–80% of design capacity
- GACC Notice 150: dossiers from 20 → 10 items, approved in 3 days if complete
- China: 64.8% of fruit and vegetable exports in the first 9 months of 2026 (USD 4.72 billion, +22.4%)
