DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE DEMAND OF APPLES ARE LOW FARMERS STILL GROW QIUGUAN APPLE

Despite low demand, farmers still grow Qinguan apples

Thousands of tons of Qinguan apples from Liquan, Shaanxi Province have been held up before they reached the markets due to low demand this season.

Qinguan apples were national bestsellers some 20 years ago but have since fallen out of favor with the introduction of other apple breeds into the market. Prices have dropped nearly ten-fold and farmers can now only sell them to juice manufacturers.

A truckload of apples only sells for a bit more than 200 yuan. However, farmers continue to grow them since other apple breeds are not suitable to grow in Liquan.
