Cherries have long been celebrated for their vibrant color, juicy sweetness, and delightful tartness. Whether enjoyed fresh from the tree in the summer or preserved for year-round indulgence, cherries hold a special place in global cuisine. While fresh cherries are seasonal and highly perishable, canned cherries have become a reliable way to extend their enjoyment, allowing consumers and food businesses to access their unique flavor throughout the year.

​When you think of canned food, what comes to mind? Perhaps a quick and convenient meal, a kitchen staple for emergencies, or even a nostalgic flavor from childhood. But in recent years, canned food has undergone an incredible transformation, emerging from the shadows of “cheap and basic” to become a globally celebrated category of culinary innovation. Leading this revolution is Zhangzhou, a city in southeastern China, famously dubbed the “Canned Food Capital of China.” With its impressive history, technological advancements, and global reach, Zhangzhou’s canned food industry has become a case study in how tradition meets modern consumer demand.

​In today’s industrial food processing industry, cleanliness is not just a matter of good practice – it is an essential component for maintaining food safety, quality, and efficiency. While in our daily routines we may simply rinse fruits and vegetables under running water before eating, the requirements for industrial-scale cleaning are much more complex. When processing fruits and vegetables for mass consumption, companies must ensure that every piece of produce is thoroughly cleaned to remove soil, debris, pesticide residues, and microorganisms. This is where specialized fruit and vegetable washing machines come into play. But how do you choose the right one? Let’s dive into the key factors that need careful consideration before investing in a fruit washing machine for your production line.

When it comes to food safety, one of the most overlooked steps is the simple act of washing fruits and vegetables. While it may seem like a basic hygiene practice, fruit washing is critical for both consumers and producers, especially in an era where foodborne illnesses and contaminants are a growing concern. Fruits and vegetables travel a long journey before reaching our plates – from cultivation, harvesting, transportation, to storage and retail. Along this journey, they are exposed to various contaminants that can pose health risks if not properly cleaned.

​Canned fruits have long been a staple in kitchens around the world. Whether you are preparing a quick dessert, adding a sweet note to a savory dish, or simply enjoying them straight from the can, these preserved fruits offer convenience, versatility, and extended shelf life.

Cherries are a fruit that depend heavily on consistent climatic conditions. They are particularly vulnerable to spring weather extremes, as frost damage during the delicate blooming and early fruiting stages can wipe out entire orchards. Unfortunately, the 2025 season saw exactly that scenario unfold across multiple producing regions.

​As we approach the closing stages of the 2025 yellow peach harvest season, growers, traders, and processing factories are all closely monitoring price fluctuations across different regions and varieties. August is always a crucial month for the peach industry in China, particularly for yellow peaches destined for both fresh consumption and processing into canned products. On August 20, 2025, the market situation provides a clear picture of where the season currently stands and what trends can be anticipated in the final days of harvesting.

Longan, often referred to as the “dragon’s eye” due to its translucent pulp and dark seed, is a small tropical fruit with a long history of use in both culinary traditions and traditional medicine. Native to Southeast Asia and closely related to the lychee, longan has been prized not only for its sweet, juicy taste but also for its numerous health benefits. For centuries, it has been consumed fresh, dried, or canned, and incorporated into herbal teas, soups, and desserts.

China, known as one of the world’s largest producers of tropical fruits, is now entering the peak season for longan harvesting and processing. With a rich history of cultivating this sweet, aromatic fruit, Chinese longan processors are once again ready to bring premium-quality canned longan products to the global market. Whether for supermarkets, wholesalers, foodservice companies, or importers seeking high-quality tropical fruit products, canned longan from China is ready for export and offers both flavor and commercial value.
