Prices for apricots are falling in Moldova, but a comeback is possible soon

In late July - early August, wholesale prices for apricots on the Moldovan market decreased by 1-2 lei / kg every week, reaching an average level of about 18 lei / kg ($ 1 / kg) by the end of the second decade of this month. Nevertheless, it is about 2-3 lei / kg higher than last year's price in the first decade of August.

So, EastFruit previously reported that if in 2020 about half of the total export volume (2 thousand tons) of Moldovan apricot supplies fell to Ukraine, then this year the share of EU countries in the export structure of this product will increase to about 80-85%.
