The article provides an overview of the current state of the industrial apple market, highlighting that prices have remained stable with a range of 0.33-0.34 PLN/kg at collection points, potentially rising to 0.35-0.36 PLN/kg for large shipments through intermediaries. Prices for the Szampion variety used in mousses or purees are slightly higher. With a portion of apples already processed, the supply for October and November is expected to be more stable compared to past years. The article also mentions unconfirmed reports of apple exports from Powiśle Lubelskie to Hungary and increased imports of apple concentrate from Ukraine and Moldova, raising the possibility of higher purchase prices, but the actual practices suggest otherwise, leaving the market in uncertainty about future price fluctuations.
