Apple prices have slumped to a third of what they were a month ago in markets across India. The prices of a 22-kg apple box fetched an all-time high rate of Rs 1,200 and more in July but since then the drop in prices has been steady despite a low yield this year. | |
| The prices over the weekend in Shimla and other state wholesale markets have varied between Rs 200 and Rs 550 per box for the past few days. |

| "Few buyers are arriving at the Delhi market. There are virtually no buyers from Gujarat and Rajasthan," said Lekh Raj Chauhan, president of the Himachal Apple Growers' Association. |
