Berkeley County field day heard Edwin Smith, federal export fruit specialist, tout four years of export market observations. He said the upcoming season’s overseas demand in England and Europe remains strong due to home-grown apple shortages and Europeans’ preference for American eating varieties and apple dessert use.
