2019 cost estimates of establishing, producing, and packing Cripps Pink apples in Washington

Abstract

The results presented in this WSU publication serve as a general guide for evaluating the feasibility of producing Cripps Pink apples in Washington State as of 2019. This publication is not intended to be a definitive guide to production practices, but it is helpful in estimating the physical and financial requirements of comparable plantings. To avoid drawing unwarranted conclusions for any particular orchard, readers must closely examine the assumptions made in this guide, and then adjust the costs, returns, or both as appropriate for their own orchard operation.
