I don't think there is a huge number of apples exported out of the US to Japan but certainly some are. They probably are the better ones. I remember reading an article many years ago about the apples grown in Chili. They Export apples to the US, Europe, and Japan. An interviewer was talking to an apple grower. They were looking at a bunch of beautiful perfect looking apples. (sorry, I have no memory of which varieties were being discussed.) The interviewer asked if those were being shipped to Europe. The answer was "no, those have no flavor, they will be going to the US". The quote from the Chilean grower that makes me remember the whole thing is: "People in Europe taste their apples with their mouth. Americans seem to only taste apples with their eyes." That tells the whole story. Steve |
