APPLES FOR PROCESSING

Trading is moderate for offerings of juice apples. Prices for juice 
apples per cwt. are mostly 14.00 delivered with an occasional sale 
higher.  Tablesorts and eliminators from fresh-pack lines are 
unchanged and range from 14.00-15.00 per cwt. Processors are offering 
20.00-21.00 per cwt. for tree-run preferred varieties out of CA 
storage for sauce and slicers.  The Michigan Processing Apple Growers 
Marketing Committee did not negotiate a minimum juice price or for 
undersize process apples for the 2018 season.
