Well I was very lucky to be able to join a trade mission to the middle east representing our local fruit grower association (the Nova Scotia Fruit Growers http://www.nsapples.com). Dubai is quite a place with lots happening that's for sure. Insane amounts of developments, ski slopes in the desert etc...



Here is a skid of McIntosh apples on sale at the market.



After Dubai we went to India. Totally different type of place. Anyway... very brief but a taste of what I saw anyway.

Take care and happy new year!
