Vintage Washington State apricots on the way
“Domex will begin shipping by the third week of June through the end of July. Volume for the season could be approximately 20% of the industry’s estimated 500,000 boxes. Perfections, Rivals, Goldstrike and Robada will account for the majority of the varieties shipped and will also include a smaller organic program with a limited shipping window the first two weeks of July,” stated Howard Nager, vice president of marketing for Domex Superfesh Growers.
The majority of the fruit will be shipped to accounts in the US. while exports are directed primarily to Canada as well as Mexico. Domex will ship a variety of sizes in a 15-pound panta pack, 24-pound volume filled cases and 1.6-pound poly bags.
“Apricots bring the taste of Summer to consumers with their vibrant color and tangy-sweet taste. We see a large percentage of retailers across both the US and Canada featuring Apricots in ads and promotions,” added Nager, “They are ideal for baking, making preserves or eaten as a delicious, nutritious snack. They are fat-free, sodium free and are high in Vitamin A and C and as well as being a good source of potassium. We are looking forward to sharing the great taste of Washington Apricots this season!”
