PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for sorting spherical agricultural products such as cherries based on the dimension of the outer diameter of the products in order to reduce labor power. SOLUTION: The apparatus for sorting spherical agricultural products comprises a loading part 1 having loading plates 12 disposed at equal intervals which are loaded with sorting products 10 on an endless belt 11 running intermittently in the arrow A direction, gauge plates 31 disposed at a downstream side in the vicinity and having circular holes 32 opened serially from a small diameter to a large diameter at equal intervals from upstream to downstream, a holding part 2 capable of holding and releasing all of sorting products 10 which are positioned at the most downstream when the intermittent run of the endless belt 11 is stopped and are suspended on the gauge plates, an elevating and descending mechanism which elevates and descends the holding part, a reciprocating mechanism, a pushing-up part which renders easy to hold by pushing up the sorting products suspended on the holes 32 of the gauge plate, and a driving device.
