Recently, Sanya's special "milky wax apple" has entered the market. Since it has low production volume and huge demand, it has an extremely tight supply. Its appearance is basically green and white with a reddish blush. It tastes very crispy and delicious. The head of the Sanya Wax Apple Association, Xingjun said, "The milky wax apple originates from a Taiwan variety 'Black King Kong'. The ones which were produced around Chinese New Year were dark red, but when the temperature is high and the ultraviolet rays are strong, the red pigment in wax apples fades and the green color appears. "

The prices reflect the special nature of the this product and Sanya-produced "milky wax apples" normally retail for between 25 and 40 RMB per Jin (half a kilo). "Even before they are ripe, some regular merchants have already reserved them. Once they've been harvested, they will be directly packed up and sold abroad." Xingjun explained that this is because the demand exceeded the supply. "The local consumers have not even had a chance to taste them yet."
