Greek Apple Harvest to Kick off at the End of August 2023 Amid Favorable Market Conditions

The 2023 Greek apple season is set to begin at the end of August, starting with Royal Gala and Mutsu Green varieties. The initial yield of these two varieties appears to be lower than the previous season, likely due to the impact of extreme heat waves. The harvest of later apple varieties will continue until mid-September. The demand for apples this year is strong, attributed to lower European apple production, particularly in France, Spain, and Portugal. Market buyers are actively seeking and evaluating new offers in response to favorable market conditions.
