The year 2022 marked a pivotal moment for Polish fruit farming, highlighted by a wake-up call regarding apple overproduction, which significantly contributed to low market prices. The government's subsidy scheme, introducing a minimum price for dessert apples, was crucial in supporting the industry. However, the ongoing war in Ukraine raised concerns about the future of exporting apples to Russia, previously a major market. Additionally, the year underscored the economic realities facing farmers, with the overabundance of the market leading to profit challenges. Inefficient production organization and a lack of understanding of economic principles were identified as key obstacles. Looking ahead, the industry will continue to tackle these issues, with a focus on improving negotiation skills and representation in the market to ensure a sustainable future.
