Chinese Bakers and Suppliers Visit Blueberry Country
Bakers, distributors and importers from East China (Shanghai) visited blueberry country to learn about production, processing and utilization. This was part of the USDA Cochran Fellowship which brings professionals to the USA for educational experiences. This group visited the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) meeting and a stop in the Central Valley of California where they picked blueberries! The group included a 150 bakery chain, a major importer and distributor of bakery ingredients, a master pastry chef who is well known in China and a director of baking operations at a leading store chain. Now we have a set of new blueberry friends in China.

Looks great that more people are taking interest in the blueberry farming. Hope that in near future the idea expands and berries can be exported from here to other countries.
