A Manjimup farm has planted a new ‘Cosmic Crisp’ apple variety as part of a $27 million investment by grower Red Rich Fruits.

The significant investment in the range aims to address the decrease in American household consumption.

The first apples are expected to hit the market in mid-2024 after Washington State University took 20 years to develop the Honeycrisp and Enterprise Blend.

Director of Fruit West Co-operative Mario Casotti spoke with Oly Peterson on 6PR’s Perth Live.
