Producers from the southern regions of the Russian Federation have started to sell winter apples at extremely low prices. The reason for this is the surplus of autumn apples in the market, both of local and imported origin.
The prices are not even close to the autumn prices. Having lost the benefit of attractive prices, the winter apple sellers are not likely to succeed.
Russian farmers cannot raise the prices for apples even to the level of 30 Rubles per kilogram. Producers from Moldova suggest the price of 18-20 Rubles per kilogram, suppliers from Poland – 22-27 Rubles.
