China's food export reached $2.62 billion in March, up 8.9 percent from a year earlier, presenting the first year-on-year growth in the last five months, said General Administration of Customs (GAC) in Beijing on Monday.
Export of fruit led the growth, rising 23.5 percent in March. Seafood was up 16.2 percent year on year.
Food export totaled $7.17 in the first quarter, down 5.5 percent year on year.
The country's food export had been falling since October 2008, affected by the global financial crisis and the baby milk scandal. The situation improved as governmental and industry efforts to strengthen food safety supervision and expand export began to pay off, according the analysis.
