In the 2024/2025 marketing year, apple prices across major European markets have shown notable divergence, with Poland, Italy, France, and Germany following different trajectories from March through May. In Poland, apple prices rose steadily, climbing from €72/100 kg in March to €78/100 kg in May. This marks a clear strengthening trend, likely reflecting tighter supplies or increased demand for locally packaged apples.

Italy displayed a more modest but consistent upward movement in apple prices over the same period. Prices rose from €96/100 kg in March to €98 in April and €99 in May. The Italian market remains relatively stable with less volatility compared to other countries, indicating a balanced relationship between supply and demand, supported by high-quality produce and steady export flows.

France, in contrast, saw a price dip in April before a rebound in May. March prices stood at €135/100 kg but dropped to €124 in April, likely due to seasonal shifts or higher supply levels. However, prices rebounded in May to €130/100 kg, suggesting either renewed demand or a tightening of available stock as the season progressed. Despite the fluctuation, France maintains the highest price levels among the four countries observed.

Germany recorded the most consistent and strongest gains through the spring months. Apple prices rose from €87/100 kg in March to €89 in April and reached €92 in May. This upward trend reflects firm demand and possibly reduced domestic production or storage stocks. With prices now approaching €100/100 kg, Germany is closing the gap with Italy and France in terms of market value.
