Ducks and Drakes threaten apple profits in Northwest market
The North Pacific Fruit Distributors accuses competing agencies of price cutting that depresses apple prices below the cooperative’s levels.

The Spokesman Review notes potential losses of $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 across four Northwestern states if growers tolerate independent sellers.
