Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core View of the Report In the context of lower - than - expected production and significantly declining quality, it is expected that the price of high - quality apples will remain strong. The purchase price of new - season bagged Fuji apples in Shandong is higher than that of the previous year, with an increase of about 0.5 - 0.7 yuan per jin. There may still be some upside potential in the futures market, but there is a risk of the realization of the production reduction expectation. Later, the driving logic will shift to the demand side, and high prices will also have a certain inhibitory effect on consumption. It is recommended to consider taking profits on long positions and pay attention to the storage situation of new - season apples [36]. 3.
