Ukrainian growers to be in better position to export apples in 2013/14
According to Fruit-Inform, Ukrainian growers will be in better position to export apples in the season 2013/14. Negative production forecasts in Poland and Moldova (main competitors of Ukraine in the Russian apple market) and lower yields expected in Russian apple orchards will be the key factors to improve international trade in Ukrainian apples in the season 2013/14.
At the same time, despite a probability of a decrease in total apple supply in Russia, Ukrainian apples' competitiveness will be backed only by good quality to price ratio. For the present, export prices of Ukrainian apples vary between UAH 3.50-5.00/kg (EUR 0.33-0.47/kg), which is almost similar to the price levels in the mid-August 2012.
We would remind you that more detailed information on the Eastern European apple market developments will be presented at the 3rd International Conference “Apple Business of Ukraine & Russia – 2013”, which is to take place on August 15-16, 2013, Donetsk, Ukraine.
