The apple crop is well advanced, the production is lower than initially estimated, it is expected for this situation to last two weeks, informed Raul de la Paz Martinez, president of the Growers Society J. Guadalupe Aguilera, Rural Production Society, mentioning that the price has remained.
Interviewed on Wednesday, the head of the organization said that the number of apple boxes that have been sent out of the fruit trade region are between 400,000 to 450,000, mentioning that in the case of SFJGASPR there were approximately 150,000 and between 80,000 to 90,000 from the fruit area of Nuevo Ideal.
He pointed out that the apple production was very irregular. It was observed that in some orchards, there was good or medium production and in others there was a very low production. It was thought that estimates would be higher than last year, which ranged between 800,000 and 900,000 boxes, for eating and processing apples.
However, it seems that it will not be that way, since the harvest is currently advancing at a rate of 60% to 70%.
