Russia: apple prices lower year-on-year
The Russian apple market participants say about stagnation in the sector.
For the present, many apple growers have already finished their season. Still selling farmers do not revise prices in view of stably low demand for apples and often low quality of offered produce.
As a result, growers’ apple prices vary between RUB 15-30/kg (EUR 0.27-0.55/kg), depending on quality and production region. We would remind you that in the mid-March 2013 domestic apples were offered at RUB 0.31/kg and higher.
As regards imported apples, the demand for them also remains extremely low, and prices are still stable.
