Basic introduction of Shaanxi apples

Shaanxi apples are a globally renowned brand, known as a national gift, with the highest production and quality in China. Shaanxi is recognized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations as the world's best apple growing area, and is the largest region in the world for concentrated contiguous apple cultivation.

China is the world's largest producer and consumer of apples, accounting for over 50% of global production and consumption. Among them, the northwest arid region accounts for two-thirds of the country's apple cultivation area, and Shaanxi is the province with the largest apple cultivation area and highest yield in China. International Horticultural Society President Roderick Drew said that Shaanxi has been recognized by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization as the world's best apple growing area: "Shaanxi's apple production accounts for about one fourth of China's and one seventh of the world's." In 2016, Shaanxi's apple production exceeded 11 million tons, with 3 million acres of green fruit certification bases, 2 million acres of organic apple bases, and 860000 acres of registered export orchards
