According to “APK-Inform: vegetables and fruits”, representatives of Polish wholesale companies declare that this week there have been some problems with the purchase of required volume of apples as local farms are short of product.
Because of this shortage, exporters had to increase prices for apples. Depending on the variety, purchasing price asked by export companies was 0,24 – 0,46 euro per kilo.
Just to compare, one week ago it was 40% less.
