# Agricultural organisation TLU SA has welcomed the landmark protocol that grants South African cherry producers access to the Chinese market for the first time. China is the world’s largest importer of cherries, having imported cherries valued at 52.8-billion-rand in 2025.

TLU SA’s Bennie van Zyl says the market for the export of South African cherries must continue to expand globally:
