@GBApples Can't remember a season quite like it for codling, we have had 4 generations this season. At least something has enjoyed the weather 😭

@rjmitch21 This is what happens when food security is offloaded for the supermarkets to deal with rather than defra doing their job properly

@drtreefruit We have been finding more scab on the underside of the leaf than normal this year

@BritishGrowers Apples!

[Fruit&Vine Magazine @FruitandVineMag]

An independent analysis, conducted by farm business consultants @AndersonsCentre, showed the median cost of producing a kilo of British apples is now £1.26, exposing the true cost of production crisis facing UK apple growers.

And another season begins! #saveourorchards #farming

@GBApples Is this a case of @Tesco utilising the public goodwill towards British farmers and claiming to support British growers whilst all the time selling cheaper imports not grown to our high standards? Surely not...

[Ringden Farm @RingdenFarm]

@FruitandVineMag @GBApples What would be really helpful is what proportion of total sales are British. This would highlight which retailers are really supporting British Growers and which are paying us nothing more than lip service.

@AlastairLarge @Morrisons It's not surprising really when David Potts gets paid £4,100,000 in a year. There can't be anything left to pay fruit growers for their apples. It must be why they are paying 10p/kg less than last year.

There you go @Morrisons I have fixed your slogan for you. #saveourorchards

[Great British Apples and Pears @GBApples]

Did you see our respected British apple grower, James Smith, on @BBCTheOneShow? Growers cannot afford to replant orchards. Less orchards means less #biodiversity. Is the market broken? #AppleGrowers need a fairer return for their produce. 📺Watch: https://t.co/5DUgnZvy2g

[Ringden Farm @RingdenFarm]

@GBApples @BBCTheOneShow Would the BRC like to explain how the supermarkets only make 1 - 2 pence a kilo when they are paying 80p/kg and selling for £2/kg? James came across very well explaining the bleak future that the top fruit sector is facing #saveourorchards

[Ringden Farm @RingdenFarm]

@GBApples How is this holding supermarkets to account? The data is useless unless you include the total volume of apples and pears sold by the supermarket, not just British fruit
