The market price of apples is extremely high at the moment, and has been for a while now. Last year the Chinese apple production season was very short. "We must take note of the high apple price. This price is the result of strong demand and limited supply. We mainly export our apples to Russia and Southeast Asia. We already sold out all our apples from this production season. Even though the export price is quite high, we were able to sell all our apples. Of course, some overseas buyers were unwilling to pay the high price, but we found other buyers who were more than happy to import our apples." This is according to Nancy Xue of Sanmenxia Hongfong Fruit and Vegetables Co., Ltd.

Green Gala apples
"We are now waiting for the new production season to arrive. The first apple variety to enter the market is the Gala apple at the end of June. The growing conditions for Gala apples look good. We do hope that next production season demand will still exceed supply. However, we can be certain that the production volume in the upcoming production season will be larger than in the last production season. We can not yet predict how the price will develop. We have to wait until the apples enter the market before we can begin to make predictions."
