The demand for industrial apples, especially the Golden Delicious and Champion varieties, has risen, leading to a increase in purchase prices. While some buyers are offering up to PLN 0.50/kg, other s still offering the same prices as regular industrial apples. The price difference between regular and "dry industry" apples is only 2-3 groszy per kilogram. This lack of a significant price difference may discourage growers from diversifying their sales. It is anticipated that a decrease in the supply of higher quality raw material after a winter episode could lead to further price increases.
