智利成为年对华出口水果第一名

Chile became China's leading supplier of fresh fruits in 2016, overtaking Thailand and Vietnam.

智利成功超越泰国、越南，成为2016年我国最大的鲜果供应国。

Chile exported $1.2 billion of fresh fruit, mainly cherries, to China last year, the La Tercera reported, citing data from Chile's export promotion agency ProChile.

《时代评论者报》援引智利出口推广机构ProChile的数据称，去年智利对华出口价值12亿美元的鲜果，其中以樱桃为主。

Thailand ranked second place, with $1.15 billion in fruit exports, followed by Vietnam, with $635 million.

泰国以11.5亿美元的鲜果出口额位居第二，越南以6.35亿美元的出口额紧随其后。

Despite a 3.7% decline in national exports overall, Chile's fresh fruit exports to the Chinese market grew 23% over 2015.

尽管去年智利对外出口总额下降了3.7%，其对中国市场的鲜果出口额却同比增长了23%。

"In the past 10 years, our exports to China have grown 18-fold, going from $65 million in 2007 to $1.2 billion in 2016," said Alejandro Buvinic, ProChile's director.

智利贸易促进会主任亚历杭德罗·布维尼奇表示：“在过去十年间，我们对中国的出口增长了18倍，从2007年的6500万美元增长到了2016年的12亿美元。”

That growth followed the signing of a free-trade agreement between the two countries in October 2006.

这一增长是在两国于2006年10月签署了自由贸易协定之后开始的。

Chilean fruit stands out in the Chinese market with 98% of the imported cranberries in the Chinese market being from Chile, as well as 80% of fresh cherries and plums.

智利水果在中国市场表现突出，中国市场98%的进口蔓越莓和80%的新鲜樱桃和洋李均来自智利。
