Abstract
This paper examines the manner of apple production center correspondence while the apple export destination diversifies to the tropical zone, and the subtropical zone. In those zones, the freshness of the apple might decrease. On the other hand, in the apple production center in Japan, the ratio of the low storability apple increases due to weakening of the labor force. In recent years, the inflection of spreading 1-MCP is useful for the freshness maintenance of the apple. To show that the 1-MCP effect is sufficient, the development of a direct relationship between production center merchants and the farmers, along with the establishment of organizations of the small units for apple production for export in the farm co-op must be demanded.
