Farming Today This Week: National Fruit Show
Charlotte Smith presents a programme looking at the business of growing and selling fruit. She reports from the National Fruit Show in Kent.
As the English apple harvest draws to a close, Farming Today This Week looks at the business of growing and selling fruit. Charlotte Smith visits the National Fruit Show near Maidstone in Kent, and finds out what makes a winning apple. UK growers have had a good harvest this year, so Charlotte asks whether there is enough British-grown fruit available in our shops, and discovers why some varieties will always be imported.
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Campbell.
