Tridge summary
The article reports a decrease in the apple harvest in the north-west region of the European Union, with a total production of 10.2 million tonnes, which is 1.3 million tonnes less than the previous year. This decrease will affect the supply of varieties such as Elstar, Red Jonaprince, Jonagored, and Braeburn. However, the supply of varieties grown in the southern regions of Europe is expected to remain normal. Germany is expected to import around 100,000 tonnes more apples than usual, mainly from Italy. The Dutch Fruit Growers Organisation anticipates that Dutch fruit growers, especially those selling Elstar, could benefit from this situation. The pear harvest is also smaller than expected, but an increased production of Abate Fetel is expected due to a crop failure last year. The article was released following the annual Prognosfruit congress in Budapest.

Based on the EU estimate, the German market agency AMI expects that Germany will import around 100,000 tonnes more apples than normal. These apples will mainly be purchased in Italy, because availability is better there. The Dutch Fruit Growers Organisation (NFO) believes that Dutch fruit growers can benefit from the smaller harvest in ...
