From January to August 2025, the cumulative export volume was about 532,700 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 7.7%. In August 2025, the import volume was 11,800 tons, a month - on - month decrease of 33.3% and a year - on - year decrease of 15.3%. From January to August 2025, the cumulative import volume was 98,400 tons, a year - on - year increase of 22% [5] - The apple market in the producing areas remained stable yesterday. In Shandong, the purchasing enthusiasm of merchants was good, mainly trading in general goods. In the northwest producing areas, the acquisition was in the middle - late stage, and the proportion of unharvested goods was small, with cold - storage warehousing continuing [6] - In the 2024 - 2025 production season, the profit of storage merchants for 80 first - and second - grade apples in Qixia was 0.4 yuan per catty, a decrease of 0.1 yuan per catty from the previous week [7] - The mainstream transaction prices of apples in Luochuan, Shaanxi and Qixia, Shandong were stable.

In Qixia, the price of new - season paper - bag Fuji 80 and above first - and second - grade apples was 3.5 - 5.0 yuan per catty [8] Trading Logic - The high - quality fruit rate of new - season apples is poor this year due to weather. The apple quality is low, the fruit diameter is small, and the proportion of water cracks and mold diseases has increased. The high - quality fruit rate is poor, resulting in a low apple warehouse - receipt production rate and high warehouse - receipt costs [9] - The poor apple quality makes it difficult to preserve, and the market is worried that cold - storage apples cannot be preserved until the far - month delivery. The apple storage volume may be lower than expected, and the high - quality effective inventory may be even lower [9] - Recently, the apple price has shown a strong trend, but considering the large increase and high current price, the upward space may be relatively limited [11] Trading Strategy - For unilateral trading, it is recommended that previous long positions take profits and wait and see [12] - For arbitrage and options, it is recommended to wait and see [13][14] Group 3: Related Attachments - The report includes 10 figures, such as the price of Qixia first - and second - grade paper - bag 80 apples, the price of Luochuan semi - commercial paper - bag 70 apples, AP contract main - force basis, and the price difference between different AP contracts, etc. [16][17][23]

Report Overview - Report Title: Apple Weekly: The Quality of New Season Apples is Average, and Merchants are Actively Purchasing [1] - Researcher: Liu Qiannan [1] - Industry: Apple Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Report's Core View - The late Fuji apples in the new season are increasing in supply, but the picking, storage, and demand are facing challenges. The price of high - quality apples is stable, while the price of ordinary apples is chaotic. The futures price is expected to be slightly stronger in the short term due to the expected low excellent fruit rate [6][15]. Summary by Section Part 1: Logical Analysis and Trading Strategies 1. Spot Analysis - New season late Fuji apples: The supply increased this week, with the picking and storage progress lagging behind last year. In the western region, the trading of late Fuji is entering the middle and late stages, and merchants are actively buying high - quality apples but cautious about ordinary ones. In Shandong, the supply is limited, and it's difficult for merchants to buy enough high - quality apples. The trading in the sales area is still sluggish, and the demand is under pressure [6]. - Main producing area prices: In Shandong, the prices of 85 first - and second - grade late Fuji are 4 - 4.5 yuan/jin, 80 first - and second - grade are 3.5 - 4.0 yuan/jin, 80 first - and second - grade semi - are 3.3 - 3.5 yuan/jin, and the general goods are 2.0 - 3.0 yuan/jin. In Shaanxi, the prices of Luochuan 70 and above semi - commercial apples are around 3.7 - 4.2 yuan/jin, and the general goods are 3.4 - 3.6 yuan/jin. The labor cost in the producing area is high [6]. 2. Supply Analysis - Cold storage inventory: The cold storage inventory statistics are suspended. As of October 9, 2025, the cold storage inventory of apples in the main producing areas was 6.79 tons. The 2024 - 2025 production season inventory has ended, and the 2025 - 2026 production season is in the purchasing stage. The national storage volume in 2025 is expected to be counted from late October to early November [11]. 3. Demand Analysis - Sales area situation: In the Guangdong Chalong market, the number of daily arrivals is about 24.6 vehicles. The sales of high - quality new season late Fuji are okay, while the sales of ordinary ones are slow, and there is inventory pressure in the transit warehouse. The average wholesale price of 6 key fruits on October 24 was 7.02 yuan/kg, at a medium level in recent years. The profit of storage merchants in Qixia is suspended from statistics. The market arrival volume increased this week, the sales speed is stable, the mainstream transaction price is stable, and the profit margin of traders is large [14]. 4. Trading Strategies - Trading logic: Due to the small fruit diameter in some areas of Shaanxi and the water - crack problem caused by continuous rainfall, the excellent fruit rate of late - maturing Fuji is expected to be low. The opening price of late - maturing Fuji is high, and the cost of making futures warehouse receipts is high. The futures price is expected to be slightly stronger in the short term [15]. - Strategies: Unilateral: Apple prices are expected to be slightly stronger in the short term due to the expected low excellent fruit rate. Arbitrage: Go long on November contracts and short on January contracts. Options: It is recommended to wait and see [15]. Part 2: Weekly Data Tracking 1.

Report Overview - Report Title: Apple Market Weekly Report [2] - Report Date: October 24, 2025 [2] - Researcher: Wang Cuibing [3] 1. Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - This week, the price of the Apple 2601 futures contract rose, with a weekly increase of 2.61%. The new-season late-maturing Fuji apples in the western region have seen an increase in the volume of goods on the market, and the prices show a significant polarization. Due to the high enthusiasm of merchants for purchasing high-quality goods and the general enthusiasm for ordering ordinary goods, the prices of high-quality goods in the producing areas are running strongly. The Shandong production area is still mainly in the coloring stage affected by the weather, and most merchants have transferred to the western region for purchases. In the sales area market, the wholesale trading atmosphere of apples is still general, the replenishment efforts of second- and third-level wholesalers are not strong, and the sales of high-quality goods are not fast. Additionally, the listing volume of new-season late-maturing Fuji apples in the producing areas has increased this year, and the progress of picking and warehousing has been postponed compared to the same period last year. The trading of late Fuji in the western region has gradually entered the middle and late stages. Merchants are active in purchasing high-quality goods and relatively cautious in purchasing ordinary goods. The volume of new apples on the market in the Shandong production area is still limited, the demand for small trucks has increased, and it is difficult for merchants to purchase enough high-quality goods, and the warehousing work is relatively sporadic. In the sales area market, the trading atmosphere is still light, the sales are still not fast, and the demand side is under pressure. However, considering the current situation where high-quality new fruits are hard to find and high-quality fruits command high prices, it is expected that the short-term apple futures price will maintain a volatile and upward trend. [4] - It is recommended to mainly adopt the idea of buying long positions on dips for the Apple 2601 contract in the short term. Future trading prompts include the price of late-maturing Fuji and consumption. [4] 3.
