中国园艺学会常务副会长韩振海指出，全世界35种苹果中有24种来源于中国，2014年苹果产量略超过世界苹果产量的一半。
Currently, Shaanxi’s apple production area measures 11 million mu, or 7.3 billion square meters. This year’s harvest is expected to yield more than 11 million tons, which will be a quarter of all apples grown in China and one-seventh of all those grown in the world, Feng said.

According to information released at the press release, only Shaanxi apples are served at the Great Hall of People, and Shaanxi apples were also available at major events including the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai and the 2016 G20 Hangzhou summit.

By 2020, Shaanxi’s apple plantations will reach about 12 million mu, with production totaling 16 million tons, according to Bai. As the world’s largest concentrated juice manufacturing base, Shaanxi is also home to half of all the concentrated juice in China and one-third of that in the world, Feng noted.
