Ukraine: Average price for fresh apples down for 2nd season in a row

The average price of fresh apples in the season 2013/14 was 10% lower year-on-year in Ukraine. In addition, fresh apples were 15% less expensive in April 2014, compared with the same month of the previous year.

The negative price trend has been observed in the Ukrainian apple market for the second season in a row. The market experts connect a decrease in prices with both higher domestic production and worse external trade environment.

Ukraine's exports of apples have been decreasing since 2012 due to high competition in Russia, the main importer of Ukrainian apples. According to the official statistics, Ukraine exported about 30,000 tons of fresh apples to the Russian Federation. However, exports have not reached even 10,000 tons in the season 2013/14.
