90 tons of apples produced in Japan annually? That number seems suspiciously low for a country that enjoys Fuji apples so much. Is it supposed to be 90 million tons by any chance? Adityan 23:56, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
90 million is too large. A google search suggested that the entire Northern Hemisphere apple production is in the 40-50 million ton/year range. See, for instance, the USDA 2001/2002 report. Still, 90 tons seems oddly small. 138.163.160.41
Ahah, found some decent data. That source says Japan produced 963,300 metric tons in 1995/1996. And this site from Japan lists annual harvest at 900,000 tons. I'll update the article. 138.163.160.42
I corrected one statement where it said 12-18% sugar. This is incorrect, apples by weight are 9-11% sugars, with 4g of fiber. Most center around 10% of digestible carbohydrates. When it says "sugar" it linked to sugar as in sucrose, which is somewhat false. The predominant carbohydrates in apples, as in all fruits, are: fructose, glucose, and sucrose with minimal galactose and other monosaccharides. User:Bellybutton Lint
[edit] outside of japan
"Outside of Japan" should also describe non-American places. That section seems incomplete or just strangely-worded and horribly American-centric.
