Cox Campaign urges help for stricken growers

THE Cox Campaign claimed many English apple growers face bankruptcy. It
follows the worst season for many decades. The usual crop of 85,000 tonnes has
been halved because of adverse weather.

It urged consumers to buy English Coxes – otherwise they would become
increasingly difficult to obtain in the future. It also called for Government
aid.
