Tridge summary

For the 2024/25 season, Ukrainian apple exports are experiencing a significant price surge across various markets. The most notable increases are in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Sweden, with price hikes ranging from 25% to 60% compared to the previous year. This increase is attributed to a combined decrease in Ukraine's apple harvest and regional production, alongside a sharp rise in apple concentrate prices. The high domestic market prices have led many Ukrainian growers to prioritize selling apples domestically, resulting in a potential decrease in exports to record lows.
