Dessert apples are getting cheaper. Now there is a heavy crop of varieties of Paula Red and Delikates. Harvest of apples of Celesta variety is beginning.

Purchasing centres are paying to producers for sorted apples depending on the size: 0.15 – 0.21 EUR/kg for size 60 - 70 mm and 0.21 – 0.27 EUR/kg for size 70 mm +. Price of apples for processing is 0.04 - 0.-045 EUR/kg. Last days the purchase of apples for processing was limited, because of blockades of several processing plants in Mogielnica, Opole Lubelskie, Kozietuły, Tarczyn, Góra Kalwaria and Warka.
