1. seasonality: apples are seasonal fruits, and the price will change with the seasons.

2. Production cost: The production cost of apples includes planting, picking, packaging and transportation. Increasing costs will lead to higher prices.

3. Market supply and demand: Apple's price is also affected by the relationship between market supply and demand. The oversupply price falls and the shortage price rises.

4. Weather factors: Bad weather will lead to apple production reduction and price increase.

5. Large-scale reduction of apple production: There was a late spring cold at the beginning of 20 19. The area affected by this cold current was very large, and fruit trees in many places were affected to varying degrees, resulting in a low fruit setting rate this year.

6. Futures operation: Good quality apples in the supermarket can be sold around 19 yuan, 1 kg. Futures operations are hidden behind these high-priced apples. Many unscrupulous middlemen buy apples in large areas, then put them in their own cold storage, hoard them, and maliciously drive up market prices.

These are the reasons why apples are expensive. I hope it helps you.
