Apple prices to drop as bumper crop expected nationwide
The Agricultural Marketing Service predicts this year’s apple crop near 74 million 12 pound boxes, up 13 percent from last year, with Washington and New York growers reporting larger crops. Wholesale prices may fall to about $6 a bushel, though costs for transport and storage could temper consumer price declines. Some regions face labor and picking shortages while concerns rise about farmers going out of business if prices stay low.
