Daily price of fresh fruit

One of the main factors that affect the price of dried fruit is the daily price of fresh fruit. Fluctuations in the price of fruit in different seasons of the year cause the price of dried fruit to be affected. Generally, for seasonal fruits, the price of dried fruit is lower in the seasons when fresh fruit is available, and much higher in other seasons.
