Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Market for Dried Fruit in Six European Countries
United States dried prunes, like United States dried apricots, command a large premium in most countries of Western Europe. The principal exceptions in the case of dried prunes are France and Western Germany. There is virtually no competition in Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, ' and the United Kingdom between United States dried prunes and those pro duced elsewhere. Almost all of the - imports of dried prunes into these countries before the war were from the United States. Since the war, these countries have turned to dried prunes from other sources only to a very limited extent, even when imports from the United States were sharply curtailed or entirely cut off. The greater appeal of United States dried prunes over Balkan dried prunes among the consumers of the four countries arises mainly from their sweeter taste, larger size, tenderness, and uniformity of packs.
