Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $19.4 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 9.6%, when compared to $17.8 million for the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to an increase in sales of concentrated kiwifruit juice and kiwifruit puree and fruit juice beverages.
Sales from apple related products decreased by $0.8 million, or 18.1%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $4.5 million for the same period of 2010, primarily due to a shortage of raw material of fresh apples in the first quarter of 2011, which was the result of cold weather in the first quarter of 2011, compared with the same period of the previous year. The reduction of product capacity was offset by an increase in the unit price of concentrated apple juice in the first quarter of 2011. In terms of sales volume, we sold approximately 2,138 tons of concentrated apple juice in the first quarter of 2011, compared with approximately 5,155 tons in the same period of 2010, representing a decrease of 58.5%.

Sales of concentrated pear juice decreased to $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2011, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 3.5%, from $4.2 million in the same quarter of 2010, primarily due to a shortage of raw material of fresh pear in the first quarter of 2011, which is the result of cold weather in the first quarter of 2011, compared with the same period of the previous year. In terms of sales volume, we sold approximately 3,481 tons of concentrated pear juice in the first quarter of 2011, compared with approximately 4,930 tons in the same period of 2010, representing a decrease of 29.4%.
Sales from concentrated kiwifruit juice and kiwifruit puree were $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2011, an increase of $0.3 million, or 12.2%, from $2.7 million in the same quarter of 2010, primarily due to an increase in production amount of concentrated kiwifruit puree in the first quarter of 2011 compared with the same quarter of the previous year. We believe that farmers were storing the fresh kiwifruit towards the end of 2010 to sell during the Chinese New Year holiday which fell in February of 2011 as the fresh fruit market was expected to go strong for the first quarter of 2011 in the squeezing season of 2010, which fell in February of 2011 this year. During the first quarter of 2011, there were more abundant fresh kiwifruits in the market in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Revenue from our fruit juice beverages in the PRC increased to $7.3 million, an increase of $4.5 million or 156.1%, compared to $2.8 million for the same period of fiscal 2010, due to our enhanced marketing efforts, an increase of product offering in our product portfolio and an increase in market demand for fruit juice beverages in the PRC.

Revenue from our fresh fruits and vegetables in the PRC decreased to $1.5 million, a decrease of $2.1 million or 59.1%, compared to $3.6 million for the same period of fiscal 2010, primarily due to a decrease in selling volume of fresh fruits coupled with a decrease in unit price of fresh fruits in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period of last fiscal year. As we foresaw that the market price of fresh fruits would fall in the first quarter of 2011 due to large inventory built by the fruit vendors in the fourth quarter of 2010, we reduced our purchased amount of fresh fruits from the market to control our risk in the fourth quarter of 2010. Our selling volume decreased as a shortage of inventory.

Yonkue Xue, Chief Executive Officer of SkyPeople Fruit Juice explained, "Our diversified product portfolio produced respectable growth in the first quarter despite weather effects on the harvest seasons for apple and pear over the last six months. Sales of our Hedetang and Qian Mei Duo beverages grew significantly in the quarter and were the single largest revenue stream for the Company. Our branded beverages are now sold in over 100 retail stores in approximately 13 cities including Xi'an, Beijing and now, Tianjin. We are excited about the growth potential for this market and the continued growth of our concentrate business in China and international markets."
