Varieties Ya, Fragrant Load ports Qingdao, Shanghai, and Shenzhen
Ya pear and Fragrant pear are harvested from August and ship from about September into the new year, then out of storage through the spring. China is by a wide margin the largest pear exporter in the world.
These are not the varieties a European buyer is used to. A Ya pear is bought and eaten as a different thing from a Packham’s, which means this row is not a substitute for the Southern Hemisphere programmes further up the page — it is a separate trade that happens to share a word.
