Apples Up Pears Rising | Amsterdam News

Apple prices are set to rise this year as Dutch growers predict a weak harvest, thanks to post-harvest tree dormancy and a shrinking orchard count—down 3% due to falling global and domestic demand. But pears are stepping up, with a 10% bumper crop expected after a tough harvest last year and better growing conditions this season. The final quality of both fruits hinges on upcoming weather, with apples and pears hitting stores by late August. Apple lovers brace for higher prices, while pear fans can rejoice—nature and markets are always in flux. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
