The total supply of apples last year was limited, but this year’s market can’t be more different. This season has seen a bumper harvest. Prices began to fall in the weeks ramping up towards the Spring Festival, mainly due to the large volume in the market and the fact that the quality of a large part of the harvest was not high.
The overall sales have been slightly slower over the past few weeks. Starting from this week, more companies have resumed business. Yang Zhiyuan from Yihe Fruit Cooperative in Laizhou, Shandong Province talked about his sales: “We started to market our apples again as companies began to resume business, but the market is still a bit quiet. Therefore, we are currently putting most of your apples into storage to ensure that the quality will remain good when more people start buying them again. " 
“As yet we have not been notably affected by the current situation and prices in China have not risen. Our growing center which spans about 2,000 mu has seen a bumper year this year. We sort our crops, mainly fujis, manually into grade I, II, and III, based on quality. Our production this year could reach over 5,000 tons, and our supply is sufficient. After being sold to purchasers, our products are shipped to all parts of the country. It is expected that in the next few weeks, demand may improve again. As the outbreak is further controlled, the market is getting better. "
