We made a little mistake, the production figures should be multiplied by 10. Then you have the correct figures.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

This video shows the top 10 apple production in tons per country in the period 1961 - 2017.

World production of apples in 2017 was 83.1 million tonnes, with China producing 50% and Europe including Turkey producing 17% of the total. Other significant producers each with 3–5% of the world total were the United States, Turkey, and Poland.

There are more than 7,500 known cultivars of apples.

Commercially popular apple cultivars are soft but crisp. Other desirable qualities in modern commercial apple breeding are a colorful skin, absence of russeting, ease of shipping, lengthy storage ability, high yields, disease resistance, common apple shape, and developed flavor. Modern apples are generally sweeter than older cultivars, as popular tastes in apples have varied over time. Most North Americans and Europeans favor sweet, sub-acid apples, but tart apples have a strong minority following. Extremely sweet apples with barely any acid flavor are popular in Asia, especially the Indian Subcontinent .

Old cultivars are often oddly shaped, russeted, and grow in a variety of textures and colors. Some find them to have better flavor than modern cultivars, but they may have other problems that make them commercially unusable—low yield, disease susceptibility, poor tolerance for storage or transport, or just being the "wrong" size. A few old cultivars are still produced on a large scale, but many have been preserved by home gardeners and farmers that sell directly to local markets. Many unusual and locally important cultivars with their own unique taste and appearance exist; apple conservation campaigns have sprung up around the world to preserve such local cultivars from extinction. In the United Kingdom, old cultivars such as 'Cox's Orange Pippin' and 'Egremont Russet' are still commercially important even though by modern standards they are low yielding and susceptible to disease.

Some very old varieties are Åkerö from Sweden and first grown in the 15th century and Kosztela from Poland dating back from 1590.
