U.S. Apples and Pears: Quality Sells!

摘要

Apples and pears harvested in the United States in 2004 should provide excellent opportunities for importers in world markets during the 2004-2005 marketing year. Supplies should be good because the U.S. apple crop will be bigger than recent harvestsand the pear supply will be just slightly smaller than last year. Since good weather around the nation helped produce excellent quality fruit, industry experts are saying this is a good year to stock additional apple and pear varieties to give consumersmore choices, create excitement and build higher sales in the category.
