By volume, the export reached 8.3057 million liters, an increase of 7.4 percent compared to the same period last year.
The top five export destinations for Chinese baijiu are Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, United States and Japan.
Beer exports has also shown good performance. The export value of Chinese beer reached USD280 million, representing an increase of 25.8 percent.
Wine exports also achieved high growth, albeit from a very low base. The export value of Chinese wine reached USD 26.35m, representing a growth rate of 174 percent, the export volume reached 2.03m liters, a year-on-year increase of 176 percent.
Baijiu’s export growth is certainly good news to Chinese domestic liquor producers, as they have put substantial efforts in promoting the category in the international market in recent years.
