Zhongguo Network: Regional panic sentiment is obvious, apple prices continue to fall

On April 27, 2026, panic spread across apple-growing regions, and widespread urgent selling was common among fruit farmers. In the Shandong producing area, prices fell more noticeably; compared with last week, they dropped by 2–4 mao. In the Shaanxi and Gansu producing areas, conditions were somewhat differentiated: merchants’ good-quality goods were temporarily stable, while fruit farmers’ stock was affected by “tiger-skin” phenomena, causing prices to be relatively chaotic. Procurement buyers pressed down on prices, and fruit farmers lowered their prices to sell their fruit, but the rate of absorption/digestion remained slow. (China Fruit Network)
