"Bodensee: Record turnover on topfruit thanks to smaller harvest"
"This turnover is not because of the quantity of apples, but is the result of the high prices" Herman Sommerfeld, chairman of the governing body of the association behind the hallmark "Obst vom Bodensee" (harvest from Bodensee) says.
The high prices result from a decrease in the apple harvest, 18 percent all over Germany. In the Bodensee area the decrease in harvest was between eight and ten percent, according to fruit experts.
