APPLES FOR PROCESSING

Trading is fairly active for offerings of juice apples. Prices for 
juice apples per cwt. are higher for mostly 12.00 delivered, with 
prior commitments as low as 10.00.  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.
