When will the EU apple market breathe?
The apple market does not run smoothly. The EU apple harvest is higher than expected, but consumers are buying fewer apples and are generally more price conscious. However, according to the inventory report of November 1st, there is hope that the market situation will be easier at the beginning of next year.

Despite high energy prices, a cost increase of 10 euros per 100 kg, and the drought in Europe, a record harvest is making the life of apple growers very difficult. However, it is also true that the Belgian and Polish crops have not yet been processed, which, unlike many other countries, is lower than average. Although buyers are much more price-sensitive and buy fewer apples due to inflation, due to labor shortages and increased storage prices, according to analysts, sellers can enjoy a more stable market in February 2023. This may be the case mainly because of the Elstar and Gala varieties from Southern Europe. According to the experts, the apple harvest in the EU should be reduced by at least 1.5 tons in order for the apple orchards to operate economically in the future.
