Is a major Hass production centre being established in south-east China? Several local or foreign groups have already invested in it, or are planning to do so. In 2011 Pu’Er Green Silver Biological Control Ltd, in partnership with the Israeli company Mobius, set up approximately 500 ha of orchards on the border with Myanmar. The group is planning to own 3 000 ha of plantations by 2025. The Thai company Charoen Prokphand, already present in China through several investments in the agricultural sector, would also like to develop avocado production in this same zone, with the support of the provincial authorities. Other projects are also under study further east in Guangxi (north of the city of Nanning).
