The Wholesale Price of Belgian Jonagold Apple Plummeted 30.77% MoM Due to Quality Issues

The wholesale price of fresh Jonagold apples in Belgium has sharply declined, with a 30.77% month-over-month drop, driven by quality issues caused by a rainy growing season and apple scab disease. Belgium's overall apple harvest for 2023 is expected to decrease by 14.9% year-over-year due to reduced cultivation area and production, further contributing to the price drop. Tridge predicts that Jonagold apple prices in Belgium will likely rise soon, driven by decreased supply and limited availability of high-quality apples.
