Apple prices across major European producing countries have shown notable differences in the early months of 2024/2025, with Germany reporting the highest increases. In Germany, prices climbed steadily from €84/100 kg in February to €87 in March and reached €89 in April. These values are well above both the five-year average and the 2023/2024 season, suggesting strong market demand or limited supply.

Italy's apple market, by contrast, has remained relatively stable. Prices in February held at €97/100 kg, dipped slightly to €96 in March, and then rose to €98 in April. This slight fluctuation suggests a consistent pricing environment, likely supported by a balance of supply and demand. Italy's apple prices continue to hover near their historical averages, reflecting a relatively predictable market.

France, however, recorded a significant price decline in April. After staying steady at €134/100 kg in February and increasing to €135 in March, prices dropped sharply to €124 in April. This 8% month-on-month decrease indicates a possible oversupply or weakening demand, breaking away from the more stable pricing seen earlier in the season and pushing prices closer to the five-year minimum range.

Poland's apple market showed a stable yet elevated pattern, with prices reported at €71/100 kg in February, peaking at €72 in March, and returning to €71 in April. Compared to previous years, these figures place Poland above its five-year average, signaling improved market positioning for Polish growers. Still, prices remain considerably lower than those in Western Europe, reinforcing Poland's role as a competitive supplier in the region.
