The article discusses the pricing dynamics for apples in Poland, highlighting the market's preference for larger-sized Gala apples, which command a higher price of PLN 1.80 per kilogram compared to the standard rate of PLN 1.20 for overweight or differently colored varieties like Red Delicious or Golden Delicious. Despite being the most popular variety, Gala's price remains unchanged, while other varieties such as Idared remain the cheapest, purchased at PLN 0.80-0.90 per kilogram.
