Apple exports humming along despite unique commodity challenges Apple exports from Washington are moving well on the state’s smaller crop. “We’re in good shape on exports right now. As far as movement, there are a lot of places where retail has been better than a normal year,” says Steve Reinholt, export sales manager at Starr Ranch Growers in Wenatchee, WA, who attributes that of course to stay at home orders which over the past year has had consumers discovering how to cook. “Our total crop though was down substantially so all of our numbers are down correspondingly.” Photo: Starr Ranch Growers
