Yantai apple harvest is unsalable and a truckload of apples is only sold for 415 yuan.

Autumn is the season for a bumper harvest of apples, but the current market situation makes fruit growers unhappy. The reporter learned that at present, Yantai apple prices have plummeted one after another, and fruit growers are facing the situation of bumper harvest without increasing income.

At present, the acquisition of Yantai apple precocious variety General Hong has entered its final stage. at an apple purchase point in Qixia City, the purchase price of the 80mm Red General Apple is only 2.56 yuan, nearly two yuan lower than last year. Fruit grower Li Yongliang told reporters that although the long drought this year did not affect apple production, it affected apple quality. Apples are generally small and the proportion of residual fruits is on the high side. His truckload of apples sold for only 415 yuan, less than 1/5 of last year: "Apple can't sell the price now, the cost is too high, the bag money is high, the fertilizer is high, and now the income can't even get back this price."

In spite of the lower price, the fruit growers still have to sell the apples. Fruit grower Sun Liqing said: "the storage life of this apple is too short. If you pick it, you have to sell it directly."

The decline in the price of Red General, in addition to quality reasons, is also related to the unsalable stock of apples last year. Acquirer Gao Jianmin said that last year, a large number of vendors bought frozen red Fuji apples at high prices, but they have not yet sold out, affecting the price of this year's precocious apples to a certain extent: "the purchase price of Apple last year was too high, and most of the cold stores lost money this year. 80 Red Fuji bought for about 5 yuan last October and sold it for more than 3 yuan this year. The apples in stock were sold out in July last year, but so far this year, no one has bought them. "

The price of early ripening apple red general fell, making fruit growers and vendors take a wait-and-see attitude towards the acquisition of Red Fuji Apple this season. Gao Jianmin said: "the situation of Red Fuji this year is not easy to say, the acquisition must be more cautious than in previous years."
