Frozen Strawberry Crop Season in China: A B2B Sourcing Calendar

Frozen strawberries are a core input for juice, dairy, bakery and dessert manufacturers worldwide. Sourcing from China at the right time and in the right grade is key to cost and quality. This guide sets out the harvest calendar and the grades buyers should know.

Strawberry Harvest Season in China

China’s main strawberry harvest runs from March to May, with major production in provinces such as Shandong, Hebei and Liaoning. Fruit for export is IQF processed at peak freshness, so bulk frozen supply is available throughout the year.

Grades: Whole, Sliced, Crumble

Whole IQF strawberries (calibrated by size, e.g. 15-25mm, 25-35mm) suit retail and premium bakery. Sliced serves yogurt and dessert toppings. Crumble / broken grade is the most cost-effective for juice and puree. Specify the grade and calibration to match your application.
