Abstract: Identifying the quality of fresh produce while procuring is a major task that involves time and human effort in the retail industry. The main objective of this project is to identify and classify whether the apple fruit is fresh or rotten using Convolutional Neural Networks. The outcome of our study resulted in 97.92 percent accuracy for the 2 classes of approximately 5031 images in the classification, by identifying apples using Resnet 50 and then classifying them using the proposed model. 
Keywords: Convolution Neural Network, Resnet50, Fresh Produce, Flask, and Tkinter.
