China fuji apple quality issue caused by heavy hailstones

North China had heavy hailstones and excessive rainfalls from September to October, especially in the two main Fuji apple planting areas (Shanxi province and Shandong province). In the 2021 season, Fuji apple harvest time is estimated to be delayed by about 1 week. Also, due to the lack of sunshine, apple colors wouldn't be good. Therefore, there will be fewer amounts of high-quality apples.
