Jonagold variety – a breakthrough in Ukrainian apple market
Jonagold variety has been rapidly increasing its popularity among Ukrainian apple growers, as shown by the results of the fundamental study «Apple Business in Ukraine, Russia & Kazakhstan — 2015: Present Situation and Prospects in Growing, Storage, Handling, Processing and Marketing» conducted by Fruit-Inform analysts.
The share of Jonagold amounts to 11% in Ukrainian total apple production in the current season against standing at just 6% in 2012.
«Jonagold has shown a breakthrough in the Ukrainian apple market», the sector analysts comment. «However, this has not come as a surprise. We have expected an increase in Jonagold's popularity three years ago, and it was this variety that Ukrainian farmers considered the most promising among red ones».
It should also be noted that a rise in Jonagold's popularity has enabled this variety to significantly raise its ranking in the Ukrainian apple sector. Jonagold is now the third most growing apple variety in Ukraine against ranking fourth in 2012.
