APPLES UNOBTAINABLE
SCARCITY FOR ANOTHER TWO MONTHS
It is nearly two months since apples were on sale in the shops, and it may be two more before they are procurable. These are the usual off months for New Zealand-grown apples and the period has usually been tided over by importations from Canada. Mainly because of the lack of shipping space, there have been no importations to bridge the gap on this occasion and the public has had to go without. Some New Zealand-grown apples will be available early next month, but these will be diverted to hospitals. It will be late February or early March before there are full supplies available for the retail shops. The apple crop this season is expected to be poor as the result of frosts in Central Otago, Nelson and Hawke’s Bay. The overseas quota has not yet been decided, pending more detailed information as to the extent of the crop.
