You know I really don’t think of Mexico as an apple producing country but…

Mexico ’s 2005-06 apple crop is expected to sink 14% to around 495,000 metric tons (MT), because weather conditions in Chihuahua, the main apple producing state, have not been favorable for apple production.

The U.S. agricultural attache for the country said, “Freezing temperatures, as well as hailstorms, during the month of May and during harvesting season have damaged a number of orchards. The severe weather has primarily affected Red Delicious varieties, which may result in lower quality and smaller sized apples.”
