   ON FRUITS FOR EACH ROW

BEGIN
      INSERT INTO products

Answer 1

Please find the fixed Trigger with inline comments about errors:

-- need to define DELIMITER to something else other than ;
DELIMITER $$

CREATE TRIGGER product_after_insert
AFTER INSERT
   ON FRUITS FOR EACH ROW

BEGIN
      INSERT INTO products
      (category,
       product_id)
      VALUES
      ('fruit',
        New.ID); -- ; was missing for statement execution

END $$  -- End the Begin clause

DELIMITER ;  -- Redefine the delimiter back to ;
