published 20 August 2012

Asian Citrus, the largest orange plantation owner and operator in China, has said that it is 'not aware of any material damage' to its orange trees in the Hepu plantation despite Typhoon Kai-Tak, which hit the Hepu county of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region last week.

The group said it has implemented precautionary counter-measures, including wind breaks planted around the Hepu Plantation, designed to protect the orange trees inside the plantation from typhoons and other adverse weather conditions.
