Tridge summary

Despite anticipated increased apple supplies from Moldova to Romania in December, no significant change compared to November's 600 tons was observed. However, Romanian retailers have shown interest in purchasing Polish and Moldovan apples, especially "Golden Delicious," due to their larger size and competitive pricing. Moldovan traders see potential in the Romanian market, but are cautious about undervaluing their products. Wholesale prices for "Golden Delicious" apples in Moldova have stabilized at 7 lei/kg ($0.36/kg), preventing excessive losses for exporters, and small shipments of various apple varieties have been sent to Romania early in December.

However, encouraging signs of an increase in demand for imported apple from Romanian wholesale buyers have already appeared at the end of November.

Against the background of local Romanian products, it looks advantageous, but, according to Moldovan traders, their product “in terms of quality is quite competitive compared to the Polish apple that is currently sold in Romanian chains.” Read also: In the first quarter of 2023, Moldova will not have significant commodity stocks of grapes for export Another thing is that ...
