Storyline: Chinese ice cream hot sellers on global market [Voice_over] It's ice cream season for much of the Northern Hemisphere with China being a major exporter of the sweet treat. One food company in Yangzhou City of east China's Jiangsu Province says many of their clients are in Southeast Asia, with their latest shipment of 175,000 U.S. dollars-worth of ice cream headed to Vietnam. The manager said ice cream exports have become an important way for achieving sales growth. [Sound_bite] Wang Hongling, general manager, food company: "As ice cream is a remarkably seasonal snack, we used to have the peak production season from January to August in previous years. To extend the peak season, we have kept expanding our overseas market. At present, Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, the Philippines and Singapore are our main target markets." [Voice_over] Other ice cream manufacturing companies in China have said they’re targeting clients in the Middle East, which has also been driving sales. Other incentives include the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area Certificate of Origin deal wherein Chinese products exported to Southeast Asian countries get a 30 percent tariff discount.
