From a botanical point of view, the fruit is produced by the development of sub-houses and flowers, which are fake fruit, full of meat, sugar, vitamins, dietary fibres and a variety of minerals, with many different uses such as fresh food and processing. From an industrial and market perspective, apples usually refer to commodity fruits that meet certain quality standards (if they are complete, non-modified, non-odour-free and appropriate maturity), which are subject to a regulated planting, reprocessing (cleaning, sorting, preserving) and demand for use at the consumption or processing end, which is one of the most widely traded fruit types。

It also detects internal ills and ensures the standardization of listed fruit products, while the processing chain is divided into primary processing and advanced processing, which are mainly simple cleaning, waxing, packaging, etc., to meet the demand for bulk marketing of fresh fruit. The product is rich in the field of deep processing, which not only develops common products such as apple juice, vinegar, fruit and wine, but also uses extraction processes to produce functional products such as gum, jam and natural fragrance, which significantly increase product premium space. The industry downstream includes, inter alia, agricultural markets, supermarkets, fruit stores, offline distribution channels such as electricians and end consumers。
