Tasmanian Apple Crop Faces Major Loss From Transport Shortage
Tasmanian growers expect 8,000,000 bushels this season but up to 3,000,000 may rot due to insufficient transport to the mainland and England. In the Huon district orchards pile fruit high as the Apple and Pear Board holds the crop under Commonwealth Acquisition. Exports to the United Kingdom have resumed at a small scale, with potential markets in Scandinavia and Canada, while the mainland market can only absorb about 17 million bushels. Dried and canned apples will reach 2,000,000 bushels, and 18,000 bushels will be given to Tasmanian schoolchildren. Pigs are being fattened on apples in the Huon district.
