Tomatoes are a global staple used fresh in salads, sliced on sandwiches, cooked in sauces and processed into many products. China grows several varieties to suit fresh and processing demand.

Common varieties

Round slicing tomatoes, snack-size cherry and grape tomatoes, plum tomatoes for sauce, and colored heirloom types each serve different markets. Variety choice affects flavor, shelf life and use.

Choosing by market

Retail prefers firm, uniform round and cherry tomatoes with good color and shelf life; food service wants reliable slicing and cooking tomatoes; processing seeks meaty plum types with good yield.

Harvest and handling

Tomatoes are harvested at the appropriate ripeness and handled gently to avoid bruising. Careful sorting and grading by size, color and condition produce uniform lots.

Ripeness at picking balances flavor and shelf life.

Packing and export

Selected tomatoes are packed in vented cartons by grade, with careful loading to protect the fruit in transit. Proper cold handling preserves firmness and extends freshness.
