We are excited to be beginning another cherry season in Washington State. Offering our customers export quality cherries everyday by air and ocean. The crop out look is approximately 18M cartons (20lb), and we expect demand to be strong at the beginning throughout the season.
The first variety will be Chelan, which is well known for it's sweetness and crunchy firm texture which Asians love! Followed by the Coral Champagne, a newer variety that has become very popular. Corals have more sugars, larger sizes and are firm enough to ship by ocean to Asia. We ship to China, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan R.O.C., Singapore, the Middle East, Europe and Canada. Stay tuned for more news as our season progresses and you can contact our Sales Team for more information. Thanks so much! Ricky Chong Director of Sales, Sutherland S.A. Produce Inc. The California cherry crop is down this season. Thankfully what is available, is exceptional export quality (as our photos below show). We have started with Coral Champagne and Royal Hazel cherry varieties. Both varieties are showing good brix, color, firmness (crunchy), and size.

The harvest is light this season with volumes down 55% from 2017. Early varieties in the southern districts were impacted by spring weather, and volumes will continue to be light until late next week. The first strong export variety has been Coral Champagne Cherries. Surprisingly very good firmness, above average brix (sugar), and larger-than-normal row size percentages.
