Excerpt from Statistical Report of the United States Deciduous Fruit Export Season, 1938-39 Exports of boxed apples amounted to boxes, or about boxes more than those during 1937-38. This movement was slightly above the average of boxes exported in the 5-year period 1931-32 to 1935-36. The United Kingdom accounted for boxes or around 36 per cent of the total. Exports to France, the second most important market for boxed apples, amounted to boxes, or about 18 percent of the total. European countries as a whole took over 85 percent of the boxed exports. Or 5 percent more than they took during the 1937-38 season. The largest increases in shipments during 1938-39 were to the United Kingdom, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, and Norway, while exports to Germany, Canada, Egypt, and the Netherlands were below those of the previous year. Boxed apples averaged around a box for the season, or 8 cents a box more than the average for the previous season. Boxed shipments were equiv alent to around 17 percent of the total production and an percent of the commercial production in the four Western box States. In this connection, however, allowance must be made for the increasing use of the box-crate pack in the Eastern States. Exports of Eastern-grown apples in box-crates showed a substantial increase during the 1938-39 season. No separate statistics on the volume of Eastern box-crate apple exports, however, are available.
