China is a large apple producer, and since1992, the apple production of China hassurpassed that of the United States to become the top in the world. China’s apple industryplays a vital role in the country’s national economy. The past two decades have witnessed afast development of China’s apple industry and its remarkable role in the readjustment ofagricultural structure, the increase of farmers’ income and the earning of foreign exchangethrough export. Compared with other apple production countries, China’s apple industry hasthe advantages in production scale, rich ecological resources, price and location. According tointernational market ratio, import dependence ratio, trade competitive indicator and otherfigures demonstrated by the dissertation, and still has a huge developing space. However,many factors in China’s apple industry restricts the increase of apple’s competitive strengthand competence for added value, such as unreasonable category disposition, relatively lowlevel of commercialization, lack of converted products, quality safety issues, unprogressivestorage and transport technology, relatively low systematism level and so on. In order to meetthe challenge of increasingly competitive domestic and international markets, We need makefull use of potential value-added of China’s apples, exploit comparative advantages, improveproduct quality and develop the apple processing industry actively to enhance the capacity ofearning foreign exchange through export and increasing peasant income. Based on valueadded theories of value chain, by positive analysis and normative analysis, econometricmethods such as descriptive statistical analysis, factor analysis, variance analysis, the studyanalyses and assesses in depth current situation of China’s apple industry chain and the factorsinfluencing apple’s value and the value-added space and proposes countermeasures aboutenhancing the value-adding capability of apple industry chain in the prenatal, birth andpost-natal throughout the process. To achieve these, China should accelerate seed replacement,promote apple production structure adjustment, upgrade specialization and scale productionof apple products, enhance postharvest apple treatment, accelerating scientific research andextension of new technologies, improve the processing technology of apple, rich processingtypes, improve storage capacity and technologies, enhance the level of fruit growers’organization, perfect fruit marketing system, train and strengthen enterprises, quicken thetechnological training, raise apple production operators’ educational qualities and strengthenthe government’s macro-adjustment.
