Abstract: In light of the rapid expansion of China’s economy, there has been a notable shift in the consumption patterns of urban and rural residents. This is evident in the increased consumption of agricultural products, with fruit consumption representing a particularly pronounced trend. The 2023 Beijing Consumption Statistics indicate that demand for fruit is increasing, accompanied by heightened competition for quality and brands. The paper is based on research that examines the current situation of fruit consumption among urban and rural residents in Beijing. The results indicate that when urban and rural residents in Beijing purchase fruits, price is the most significant factor influencing fruit consumption. Taste, appearance, and variety are also considered to be important influencing factors, while the influence of factors such as fruit type, consumption pattern, and fruit brand is relatively minor.
