Moscow: prices of Argentinean apples up month-on-month
Argentinean apples have become averagely 8% more expensive in Moscow, Russia, over a month.
Russian traders now offer Cripps Pink apples at 0.93-1.03 euro/kg, depending on quality and shipment volume. Meanwhile, Fuji apples of Argentinean origin are sold at 0.95-0.99 euro/kg in Moscow.
It should be noted that Argentina has significantly reduced its presence in the Russian market in the current season. According to the official statistics, in July 2013 – May 2014, Russia purchased just 8,500 tons of Argentinean apples. Thus, Argentina was just the 13th largest supplier of apples to the Russian Federation, after ranking 7th a season before. Meanwhile, Poland, Moldova and Serbia are the top three largest exporters.
We would remind you that more detailed information about the Eastern European apple market developments and outlook will be presented at the 4th International Conference “Apple Business of Ukraine-2014”. The conference will be held on August 14-15, 2014, Feride Plaza, Vinnytsia, Ukraine. More detailed information about the event is available on the official web-site.
