According to the data provided by Food Institute Report, the prices for Chinese apple concentrate are already reaching $2,600-2,800/ton; European prices exceed $4,000 per ton.
The analysts of "Agrooglyad: Vegetables and Fruits" inform, high prices for apple concentrate are mostly predetermined by the declined apple production and processing in USA, EU and China - the three main regions-suppliers of apple concentrate.
