Apple Market News
Monday, Nov. 21
Report Supplied By PDA
This week’s Apple Market News
Service continues to report a
market with sluggish demand and
steady prices. Demand picked up
somewhat the end of last week but
not as much as anticipated. One
theory regarding the poor
movement is the over abundance
of traypack fruit out of
Washington. To date Washington
has shipped 9,512 trucks which is
3,135 trucks more than last year at
this time.
Juice apple prices: Straight
loads for juice - $3,254.00, few
higher.
