Prices for the Golden Delicious apple variety in Poland, Ukraine, and Moldova remain stable but are 20-25% below average, threatening the sustainability of apple production in the region. Poland, with its high yield, has the lowest prices, while Moldova, due to low harvest and partial access to the Russian market, has the highest. The increased costs of cultivation, energy, and logistics in 2022 are contributing to the price crisis. Ukrainian and Moldovan growers are responding by uprooting old orchards, and Polish growers are seeking government support to cease new plantings. The current prices are impacted by issues in Egypt and the search for alternative markets in Asia, but the cost of shipping to Asia is driving up production costs, further depressing domestic prices.
