German Apple Trade Tops Pacific Coast Produce Prices
Consul General Skinner reports from Hamburg that Oregon and Washington apples fetch higher prices than other states, with California lagging. In 1908 Germany imported 164,421 tons of apples, the US supplying 10,502 tons, and Australian apples remaining strong competition. Hamburg is the key apple port. German buyers seek quality packing to avoid bruising and ensure eye appeal. Regulators and inspectors guard against scale pests, with agents visiting American orchards and packing houses to monitor standards. Maintaining high quality is urged to sustain prices and industry profits.
