Rapid changes are taking place in the commercial apple industry. Recent years have seen the development of controlled atmosphere and Tectrol storage, changes in the type of rootstock grown and changes in the techniques of packing. Furthermore, buyers of fresh apples are much more conscious of quality and demand a more uniform, higher quality pack. Certain problems relating to storage, packing, distribution, processing, and point of sale representation of grower interests have been of concern to the industry. Many of these problems are appearing due to the reflection of these industry changes in the New England commercial apple industry.
