The average price in Europe for apples was EUR 0,73/kg in September 2017. This is 30% higher than the five-year average.
The reason for these high prices was the small volumes. This year’s small volumes were caused by the frost that hit many European countries. These figures come from a report of the European Commission. The largest European production countries were Poland, Italy, France and Germany.
