China is the world’s largest watermelon producer, contributing roughly 90% of global output, with annual production around 80 million metric tons and per-capita consumption exceeding 50 kg per year. That scale supports a consistent, cost-competitive export supply for importers worldwide. Huasheng Fruits & Vegetables supplies export-grade watermelons with disciplined grading, robust packing and dependable cold-chain delivery.

Why import watermelon from China?

According to FAO data, the world produced about 102 million metric tons of watermelons in 2021, making it the second most produced fruit on the planet. China alone accounts for the overwhelming majority of that volume, ranking consistently as the world’s largest producer and consumer of watermelon.

Chinese watermelon is grown across almost every province, with major producing zones in Henan, Shandong and the northwest region, which gives buyers a long and overlapping harvest window through the season. Because of this scale and low production cost, Chinese watermelon generally reaches the market at a compelling price-to-quality ratio compared with many other origins.

What quality and grading standards does Huasheng apply?

Huasheng Fruits & Vegetables grades each batch by variety, weight and brix (sweetness), selecting only uniform fruit that meets export specifications. Watermelons are checked for firmness, rind integrity and absence of cracks so they survive long-distance transit and arrive with crisp, juicy flesh.

Packing houses sort, label and record every consignment so that quality and origin can be traced through the supply chain. This mirrors China’s wider push toward higher-value agricultural exports, which the China Daily and CAAS data highlight as a national priority for upgrading quality, cold-chain logistics and supply-chain efficiency.

How are watermelons packed and shipped for export?

Whole watermelons are packed in sturdy export cartons or bins designed for high-volume ocean and land freight, with per-carton net weights aligned to your order profile. Cold-chain handling keeps the fruit within its recommended temperature range from the packing house to the port.

The loading plan staggers harvest and shipping so that each container leaves at optimal maturity for the destination market. Huasheng provides the documentation, inspection and phytosanitary support needed to clear customs efficiently in your country.

Can I customise packing and order size?

Yes. Huasheng accommodates custom carton sizes, labels, net weights and grading criteria for retail, wholesale and food-service buyers. Order sizes are flexible from trial container lots up to regular larger volumes, so you can test the market before scaling.
