In the past two years, the little-known Jingning County of Pingliang City, Gansu Province has become more and more famous. The county’s apple industry has helped poor farmers get rid of poverty, but the county’s reputation is due to the apple "insurance + futures". "Jingning Apple" is a brand, while Apple's "Insurance + Futures" is the "Jingning Apple" brand. From December 8th to 9th, Lu Dongsheng, general manager of Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, went to Lanzhou to sign a strategic cooperation agreement with Gansu Government and investigated the development of Apple's "Insurance + Futures" project.

The eastern part of Gansu Province is located in the dominant apple industry belt in my country. The mountainous plateau climate makes this one of the "sweetest" apple producing areas in China. As the apple industry develops into a local pillar industry, avoiding the risk of market price fluctuations has become one of the important issues facing the apple industry in Gansu. Under the guidance of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, ZCE started research on Apple futures in 2016. Overcoming the low standardization of the apple industry and the lack of experience of fresh fruit futures in the international futures market, Apple futures was listed on December 22, 2017, becoming the world's first fresh fruit futures variety.
