The farms are situated in Yunnan province in South-West China, with the backdrop of grassy rolling hills and patches of thick forests which is more familiar to tourists than berry-growers; we often work to a soundtrack of fireworks as a celebration of some description goes on in the valley.

Berry consumption is on the rise dramatically in China, so we decided to break ground in 2017 with a plan to supply Chinese consumers with berries from our farms in various parts of Yunnan. As such, we are working hand-in-hand with our next-door neighbour Driscoll’s to ensure we all develop world-class farms to provide Chinese berry lovers with the best possible fruit.

Our Growing Systems office operations are split between head offices in Shanghai, Kunming and Chengdu, and Growing farm operations directly from the various farms in Yunnan.
