农产品日报：减产预期修正，苹果大幅回落-20250610

Report Investment Rating - The strategy for both apples and red dates is neutral [4][8] Core Viewpoints - For apples, the previous expectation of a production cut has weakened with the new - season fruit bagging work progressing, leading to a correction in the futures price. The demand for apples is being impacted by the increasing demand for melons and other summer fruits as the temperature rises. Although the current inventory is at a five - year low with less pressure to clear stocks, there is a risk of price decline due to potential quality issues. Attention should be paid to the yield expectation after bagging [3] - For red dates, the main producing areas' jujube trees are growing normally, and the supply in the sales areas is sufficient with a high total inventory. The price of red dates has been falling under multiple conditions such as the off - season, high inventory, and normal growth in the growing period, and has broken through the warehouse receipt cost of the 2024 production season. Due to over - production in 2024, there are potential risks in the new - season growth, and attention should be paid to the market opportunities brought by high - temperature and drought weather [7] Market News and Important Data Apples - Futures: The closing price of the apple 2510 contract yesterday was 7486 yuan/ton, a change of - 220 yuan/ton from the previous day, a decrease of 2.85% [1] - Spot: The price of 80 first - and second - grade late Fuji in Shandong Qixia was 4.10 yuan/jin, unchanged from the previous day, with a spot basis of AP10 + 714, a change of + 220 from the previous day.
