Yantai’s Apple Industry Achieves Development of high Quality

YANTAI, China, Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — With more than 150 years of cultivation history, Yantai is the birthplace of modern apples in China. In 2008, Yantai’s apple was approved to register a certification trademark of geographical indication and was recognized as a well-known trademark in China in 2011. In 2015, Yantai commissioned Zhejiang University to create a tailor-made “Yantai Apple Branding Strategic Plan”, in which a strategic design was carried out for the brand symbol system, management protection system and communication system; the brand itself was upgraded and enhanced in 2020. Meanwhile, the continuous selection of the Top 10 Brands of Yantai Apples has made joint publicity and promotion possible, where a parent-child branding system led by regional public brands and supported by corporate brands has been built.

Yantai apples were planted on 2.55 million mu, with a total output of 5.74 million tons by 2021, and the brand value of “Yantai Apples” was 15.034 billion yuan, which was the No. 1 brand in China’s fruit industry for 13 consecutive years. Yantai apples have been taken into space by Yantai astronaut Wang Yaping, have taken the lead in entering the catalog of China-EU Agreement on Geographical Indications, have been approved in the first batch to prepare for the establishment of National Protection Demonstration Zone for Products with Geographical Indications and selected in the Key Contact Guidance List for the National Geographical Indication Application and Promotion. Furthermore, Yantai has been approved to create a national 100-billion-level advantageous characteristic industrial cluster for its apples. Branding is inseparable from the guarantee of quality. With certified area of 850,000 mu, 116 fruit enterprises in the city have obtained “Three Products and One Standard” certification up to now; nearly 20 fruit enterprises have passed the GAP certification. In the national and provincial fruit quality and safety supervision and sampling test, the monitoring qualification rate of Yantai apples has reached 100%. With the enhancement of standardization and branding, Yantai apples are leading the national apple industry to stride forward.

In 2020, the Yantai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government issued the “Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the High-Quality Development of the Apple Industry (2020-2022)”, which proposed 17 specific measures in 5 major areas, including promoting scientific and technological innovation, building a platform for development, consolidating the industrial foundation, strengthening the promotion of the brand, and establishing a guarantee system. These policy measures are highly leading and clearly oriented, providing scientific guidance and finding a new way out for the high-quality development of Yantai’s apple industry, so as to achieve a strong fruit industry in beautiful villages of rich fruit farmers.

Support Independent Community Journalism

Dear Reader,

The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.

We operate independently.

Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.

When you support The Indian Sun, you support:

• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers

We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.

If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.

Please consider making a contribution today.

Thank you for your support.
