âAll apple varieties are popular this yearâ
The Polish apple season is still ongoing and exporters are having a good time at it, too. Demand is high all over Europe, as well as on the domestic market. Prices of apples are rising as the season goes on, and itâs expected they will continue to increase in the coming weeks.
The Idared, Jonagold, Gala and Golden apple varieties are in full swing in Poland. According to Jan Nowakowski, owner of Genesis Fresh, itâs been a good season so far: âThe apple season is pretty good this year. We have more apples this season compared last year, so weâre able to offer more apples to our clients. All varieties are available this year. Popular varieties like Idared, Jonagold, Gala or Golden are in full swing at this moment. We had some frost last spring so some varieties like Champion or Gala have been affected by frost damages. These varieties are limited in volume but still in good availability compared to last season.
Up until now the prices for Polish apples have been on a stable level
The Polish apple season is well underway, and the second European wave of the coronavirus is indeed affecting the season. The expectations are the coronavirus will leave a lasting mark, changing orchards, warehouses and destinations. With January coming up, soon the Polish cold-stores will be opening, which could also lead to an increase of the prices.
According to Jan Nowakowski, manager of Genesis Fresh, the Polish apple season is doing quite well. “The season is going good. We are at about one third through the season. Lots of apples have been sold to European countries like the Netherlands and Belgium, as they have limited volumes this year. Moreover due to lots of hailstorms in Poland, causing damages to the apples, many of apples have been also sent for industry purposes. In January, we will start with apples that have been stored in ULO cold-stores. Good volumes will be dedicated to long-transit shipme
