As the latest step to enhance its retail fruit store brand name, Taina®, in domestic urban fruit market, the beauty contest also sets a stage for the company to present its operational improvements in fruit planting, distributing, and retailing.
"The fruit consumption per capita is expected to reach 60 kilograms in China by 2020, and more fruit consumers are weighing quality over price, especially among the younger generations," said Mr. Quanlong Chen, chairman and CEO of China Fruits Corporation. "We are riding the trend by providing consumers with hand-picked fruits from orchards via our nationwide distribution network, patented storage technology, and expanding retail presence."
"What we have done and are now working on is to keep our production and distribution capacity abreast with the increasing market size and changing consumer preference," added Mr. Quanlong Chen.

The finale is scheduled on April 25, 2014, with Miss Fruit and other top three winners being crowned and seven other beauties being honored with individual awards. Miss Fruit is expected to receive a cash reward, brand ambassador appointment, and lifetime free fruit supply from Taina's diversified fruit portfolio.
