New Zealand's Northland experiences apple scarcity as season concludes
Northlanders are finding it challenging to locate apples in supermarkets and local stores. However, it's not an apple shortage, but a temporary lull. Over the past month, a noticeable absence of apples has been reported, with varieties like Rose, Royal Gala, Granny Smiths and Simply Reds being unavailable at several New World and Countdown supermarkets.
