Overripe industrial apples

This year some fruit growers were keeping the apples on the trees too long and a lot of apples are overripe. The processing plants in some areas are complaining about the poor quality of apples.

These apples have floury taste and they aren't fit for a production of concentrate. This week the price of apples for concentrate stabilized at the level 0.036 - 0.042 euro/kg for apples delivered to the plants. In some plants the price is only 0.031 euro/kg. For the last week the purchase prices of industrial apples didn't change.
