Apple Movement

From the Pro Act market report of March 17:

The Northwest continues to have shortages on small fruit particularly in the red varieties. As redundant as it sounds, it will continue for the remainder of the storage season. Red Delicious, Granny Smith, Gold Delicious and other varietal red apples continue to pack larger and in higher grades making it difficult for the foodservice sector and our weekly demands. Expect prices to increase on small apples and availability to continue short. Pear sizing is also large, but market prices are holding steady this week will into next week as well.
