Apples account for more than a third of Ukrainian fruit market
Apples accounted for the share of 35% in the Ukrainian fruit market in 2015.
According to the market experts, fresh apple sales totaled 440,000-450,000 tons in July 2014 – June 2015, while the cumulative fresh fruit market was estimated at 1.35-1.4 mln tons in Ukraine.
It should be noted that the Ukrainian fresh apple market volume was almost 45% higher than the market volume of fresh bananas, the main competitor of apples in Ukrainians' fruit consumption. In addition, sales of mandarins and oranges took just a half and a fourth of apple sales in the past season.
Pears account for the second largest market volume among domestically grown fruit in Ukraine, but their sales took just a sixth of apple ones in 2014/15.
We would remind you that more detailed information about the Ukrainian apple market developments will be presented at the 5th International Conference «Apple Business of Ukraine-2015», which is going to take place on August 13-14, Kleopatra Hotel, Kamyanets-Podilskyi, Ukraine.
