Fresh U.S. Apples - A Worldwide Favorite

摘要

When fresh apples from the United States arrive at markets around the world, promotions from various commodity groups arrive with them. Marketing expertise and U.S. Market Access Program (MAP) funds mean that there are many kinds of support for retailers. California has the first apples on the market, says Kris Marceca, executive director of the U.S. Apple Export Council (USAEC), Vienna, Virginia. "We are first to market fresh apples in the Northern Hemisphere. California has the first Granny Smiths, Galas and Fujis. They sell until they are out. Right now [late September] we're in the Gala season. We will be finishing that and starting to harvest Fujis."
