"In 2017, Yantai experienced its hottest most arid summer in 50 years. This directly caused a major decrease in the quality and volume of apple production. In comparison with 2016, apple production decreased by 30%." This is according to Mr. Song Peng of the Yantai Hong Shan Guo Agricultural Technology Company.

Red Fuji growing
The blooming season of red Fuji in Yantai starts each year in the middle of May and the harvest is finished by the end of October. This is similar to production areas in Shaanxi and such places. Yantai apples are relatively big. Their sweetness carries a sour hint. The fruit flesh is crispy. The skin is juicy and able to endure storage. In Yantai, Qixia stands out. It is situated in the apple production zone in the 37th parallel north. During summer and autumn in particular, the air is moist and sunshine is abundant. The temperature difference between day and night is great, which profits the growth of apples."

"The ever-present apples of Yantai suffered a large decrease, but nationwide, the total output of apples increased. In comparison with 2016, in 2017 the price of apples from Qixia in Yantai slightly increased. This company is located in Qixia, Shandong. It occupies more than 100 hectares for red Fuji apple production. The fruit they produce is mainly sold via traditional methods in the markets of Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong."
