Tridge summary

In 2024, EU apple prices are expected to surge by 26% to €97.30 per 100 kg, exceeding the average over the past five years, as reported by FreshPlaza. This situation is exacerbated by anticipated reductions in apple production from major European countries, including Poland (19.7%), Italy (0.6%), France (3%), Germany (15.8%), and Romania (15%), which collectively account for more than 88% of the EU's apple production. These declines could further drive up prices, making it a challenging year for the apple market in the EU.
