Fruit late, 'and dear’
! PA Dunedin i People expecting bargain I fruit prices because of j bumper crops in Central | Otago may be in for a rude awakening. [ Growers are expecting prices at least as high as last year, and probably ; higher, because of very high (cost increases. Added to this, the season iis about a fortnight late, due to inclement spring weather. | Few black cherries are expected in city markets be- ; fore Christmas, and only a ' limited quantity of peaches I will be available before New Year. Apricots are expected Ito be even later. I There had been a good dei mand for apricots for proI cessing, and the increased i prices which have been fixed should also boost the market prices for fresh fruit, said IMr I. L. Johnson, president ;of the Teviot Fruit Growers 'Association. i
