Apple Market News
Tuesday, February 21
Report supplied by PDA
Because of your Apple
Marketing Board’s 12/3# Polybag
promotion currently going on,
demand for bagged apples is up
this week. After a rather poor
showing a week ago, traypack
apples are showing a marked
increase this week over last week.
Prices remain stable. Apple sales
for last week, from nine packer
shippers, shows movement of
22,930 cartons of bagged apples
and 3,837 cartons of traypacked
apples. Because of the National
Peach Council Meetings now being
held, some of the growers-shippers
were not able to be contacted for a
report and consequently, it is safe
to assure that the figures for
bagged apples is lower than it
really is. Your Board feels, from
the figures reported during the
past two weeks, which was the
order period for the promotion,
that our goal of 100,000 cartons can
be achieved. Thanks to all of you
who have helped in this promotion.
