High prices of national apples in Brazil have led to a surge in sales of imported apples, due to the low Brazilian stock. The national gala apple 110 Cat 1 is sold for R$ 123.30/box of 18 kg, while the Portuguese apple is sold for R$ 138.00/box of 19 kg. The larger weight of imported boxes is making them more attractive. This trend is expected to continue for the next few weeks, with the entry of precocious products potentially disrupting the market.
