Notes: Transaction price and value is the amount received by the grower including all bonuses and premiums received. Grower price and value is the amount received by the grower less marketing costs (i.e. storage, packaging, transportation, etc.). Juice apples reported on the survey were frequently not specified by variety or were mixtures of varieties. Where possible, adjustments were made to allocate these apples by variety. Otherwise, these apples were included under "other" which means that the totals for certain varieties above may be undercounted
