Russia: wide apple price range in Moscow
The apple price range was rather wide in Moscow on May 23: 0.61-1.37 euro/kg, depending on variety and country of origin.
Polish apples traditionally were the least expensive. Wholesale companies offered those apples at 0.65-0.87 euro/kg with the demand for them being moderate.
Apples of Spanish, French, Chilean and South African origin were offered as a premium category at 1.17-1.37 euro/kg.
It should be noted that prices of imported apples were significantly higher last year: 0.81-1.77 euro/kg. A year-on-year decrease in apple prices is connected with rather low demand for apples in the global market now.
