Promising Start to Greek Granny Smith Harvest Amid Lower Yields and Market Challenges in W41

As of W41, the harvest of Greek Granny Smith apples has commenced in the mountainous regions of Greece, yielding excellent quality fruit with sizes ranging from medium to large. However, due to challenging summer weather conditions, total yields are lower than last year. Export prices have been established at USD 0.95 per kg, and the market response has been positive. Nonetheless, there is a potential risk from leftover stock from the previous season, which could impact overseas markets by introducing lower-quality fruit.
