Peaches to Open at Sixty Cents, Then Drift Down
Pacific Fruit & Produce Co. manager Lloyd Garretson predicts peach prices in Yakima valley will start near 60 cents a box and fall to about 50 cents as the season unfolds. He says the firm expects to handle about 30 percent of last year’s volume, with 80,000 boxes sold at 35 to 40 cents. Growers who demanded high prices last year caused waste and losses. Yakima Valley Fruit Growers’ Association Secretary Romans called current prices too uncertain to forecast.
