The colours/saturation is very good and the items in the picture have a very natural look to it which is exactly what you want.
You could have stepped backwards a bit or zoomed out to include more of the foreground/items on the right of the picture. Then select the right AF point to focus on the furthest side of the picture. What you can also do is to decrease your aperture opening to give you a deeper depth of field. This will also help to bring the rest of the picture in focus as the items to the back/left tend to be out of focus.
Decreasing the ISO to say maybe 400 or a bit less, will help to lessen the brightness of the light.
Another thing you can do is to change the angle a bit and what I mean is to lower your camera slightly. This will increase the emphasis of the picture on the fruit and treat the rest as background.
In general I think this is a very nice shot.

Thanks for your commnets, the walkside is so narrow, so it is very difficult to look other angles

It looks like parts of the photo are a bit out of focus. As mentioned before, a smaller aperture (large F stop) can help with that. What helps for me when composing a shot is deciding what I want my depth of field to be, then setting the Shutter speed and ISO accordingly so that I can get the depth of field I want.
