According to the latest forecast of the WSTFA, the apple package output in Washington state is expected to reach 134 million boxes (18kg boxes) in 2020, which is similar to 133.9 million boxes in 2019. Apple's packing work can be completed quickly by automatic apple grading packing machine.

"Harvesting is in progress and is expected to meet strong consumer demand in both quantity and quality," said Jon DeVaney, wstfa president. "Again, we have a large selection of varieties for consumers to choose from at the same time."

For the second year in a row, gala will be the leading producer, accounting for 23% of Washington's apple production. Red delicious is expected to account for 17%, followed by Fuji (14%). The new variety Cosmic Crisp will account for 1.2% of the total production, and a $10 million marketing campaign is under way.

Organic apple production is expected to reach 21 million boxes in 2020, up from 15 million in 2019. Wstfa stressed that not all organic apples end up in organic packaging.

Apple skin is very fragile, so in the process of sorting, it is best to choose the weighing and grading machine, which has high efficiency and does not damage the fruit skin. For apple packaging, it is better to choose the automatic weighing packaging system to save time and labor costs.
