Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fruit Situation: August 1961
Supplies of fresh market fruits are expected to be generally larger during September and through early fall than in this period of 1960. Although deciduous fruits from the large 1961 crop will continue seasonally heavy into fall, citrus will be seasonally light until new crops become available in vol ume in October. In early August, shipping-point prices for fresh market decid nous fruits tended to average above year-earlier levels, while those for citrus tended to average below, especially for small-sized fruit. Demand for some deciduous fruits for processing appears to be stronger than a year ago. Some what higher prices than last year have been reported for California clingstone peaches and Bartlett pears for canning, and Great Lakes sour cherries for can ning and freezing. Exports of apples and pears in 1961-62 are expected to be larger than in 1960-61, especially to western Europe, where prospective pro duction is smaller.
