Farm Credit East to Present Webinar on Northeast Apple Outlook on April 16

ENFIELD, Conn. — Northeast apple growers are invited to attend a free webinar hosted by Farm Credit East and Horizon Farm Credit on Thursday, April 16 at noon. This webinar will provide a recap of the Northeast apple industry in 2025, as well as economic projections for the year ahead.

The webinar is free to attend, but registration is required at farmcrediteast.com/webinars.

For the past two years, many U.S. apple growers’ fresh apple prices haven’t covered the cost of production. Increased yields and declining exports have resulted in an oversupplied domestic market, forcing prices to break-even levels. Chris Gerlach of USApple will dive into what it will take to restore profitability through smarter production discipline, rebuilt export momentum, stronger health-driven demand, and more stable labor costs.

This webinar is part of Farm Credit East’s Insights and Perspectives series, which includes webinars and outlook papers for the diverse sectors of Northeast agriculture and forest products.
