Polish apple traders turn to Chinese market
"We are talking with potential trade companies, as well as supermarkets about selling our apples in China, which is an important market for us to expand the export volume," said Waldemar Zolcik, chairman of the Association of Polish Fruit and Vegetables Distributors. China signed an agreement with Poland to introduce the Polish apples last June.
According to Stasiak, sending apples from Poland to China is a huge logistical undertaking as it would take about 40 days traveling by sea or 18 days by train.
Besides the Chinese market, Polish apple growers and traders are also looking to export more fruit to the United Arab Emirates, under the Polish government's three-year plan to promote the fruit in the Asian market, which was launched in 2014.
