There was also sufficient supply of New Zealand Cox Orange, South African Golden Delicious and Chilean Granny Smith. In the European section the countries Italy and Germany had the upper hand with Golden Delicious, Granny Smith and Braeburn, Elstar and Jonagold. France followed with Granny Smith, Pink lady and the Netherlands added to the assortment with Boskoop and Elstar.
