Movement of apples, both bag and traypack, remains poor. Particularly during the short Christmas week. Some packers report no activity at all. Demand for traypack is slightly higher than bagged apples. Prices remain stable. Other areas of the Appalachian district shows demand as being light and the market about steady. Western New York and Michigan reports a light demand with a steady market. Michigan reports that trucks are being delayed by snow and poor road conditions. The citrus freeze in Florida and Texas could have a bearing on movement of apples during January. It is still too early to tell just what effect this could have. Keep your eye on this.
