As The Source reported last week, “the apple market is expected to remain steady through the rest of June and into July.”
This report pertains to the Hudson, New York, region, and notes that supplies of certain varieties, like Honeycrisp and Cosmic Crisp®, are light, followed by smaller volumes of Golden Delicious and Pink Lady.
