Many importers and distributors across Latin America now prefer reliable suppliers of premium canned fruits like loquats because they deliver consistent quality, year-round availability, and strong margins in competitive retail and HORECA channels. We’ve noticed that foodservice operators and retailers in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and beyond increasingly turn to trusted Chinese exporters for shelf-stable fruit solutions that meet rising demand for convenient, nutritious, and versatile ingredients.
From June 9–12, 2026, the international food and beverage community gathers at Corferias in Bogotá, Colombia, for Alimentec | Anuga Select Colombia 2026. This premier trade fair serves as the key meeting point for the food, beverage, and HORECA sectors across Latin America and the Caribbean. It brings together innovation, business matchmaking, sustainability discussions, and direct sourcing opportunities.
XIAMEN AMOYTOP IMPORT & EXPORT CO., LTD. (Amoytop Foods) will be present at Pavilion 18-23, Level 01, Stand 2711. Our experienced colleagues Hayley and Shirley will be on-site, ready to discuss partnerships, showcase samples, and explore how our canned fruits, vegetables, and seafood can strengthen your supply chain.
Why Alimentec 2026 Matters for the Canned Fruit Industry
Alimentec has evolved into a major regional platform, now aligned with Anuga Select, expecting around 40,000 professional visitors from over 60 countries and approximately 700 exhibitors from 40 nations, with a strong international presence (about 45% of exhibitors). The event features dedicated zones for meats, dairy, bakery, beverages, sweets, organic products, frozen foods, HORECA solutions, and more. Side events include the Food Innovation Summit, cooking demonstrations, trend workshops, and business matchmaking sessions that facilitate real deals.
For canned fruit specialists like Amoytop, this is the ideal venue to connect with importers seeking stable suppliers amid global supply chain challenges. Latin American markets are experiencing growing demand for convenient, high-quality canned goods driven by urbanization, busy lifestyles, expanding retail chains, and the hospitality sector’s need for reliable ingredients.

Spotlight on Canned Loquats: Why They’re Gaining Global Popularity
Canned loquats represent one of our flagship products and a growing category worldwide. Loquats, also known as Japanese medlars or wool medlars, are small golden-orange fruits with a delightful floral aroma reminiscent of roses. Their tangy-sweet flavor and apricot-like texture make them exceptionally versatile.
Key advantages of Amoytop’s Canned Loquats in Light Syrup:
· Ready-to-eat convenience — Perfect for immediate consumption or quick incorporation into recipes.
· Year-round availability — Overcoming the short fresh loquat season.
· Nutritional profile — Rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber; supports healthy snacking and dessert options.
· Applications — Ideal for fruit salads, jellies, jams, chutneys, bakery fillings, yogurt toppings, ice cream, and Asian-inspired desserts. They also work well in savory pairings like glazes for meats.
· Packaging options — Tins with normal or easy-open lids, customizable private labeling (OEM), and various sizes to suit retail, foodservice, or industrial needs.
· Shelf life — Up to 3 years when stored properly, reducing waste and inventory risks for buyers.
Recent industry observations confirm canned loquats are rising in popularity due to their unique taste, health appeal, and versatility in fusion cuisines. Importers appreciate the stable supply and competitive pricing that allow strong positioning in premium and value segments alike.
At Stand 2711, Hayley and Shirley will offer tasting samples and detailed specifications. They can discuss current crop availability, pricing for 2026–2027 contracts, and customization options to match local preferences in Colombia and neighboring countries.
