Import of apples to Ukraine decreased by 100%

The State Statistics Service of Ukraine reports that in 2018, 1.46 million tons of apples were harvested, which is 35% higher than the previous year's harvest. The unprecedented harvest of apples in 2018 had a bad effect on the import of these fruits, reducing it by almost 100%.

In 2018, it turned out to be fruitful, not only in Ukraine, but also throughout Europe, where a high harvest of apples was also obtained. Recall that last year 99% of apples were supplied to Ukrainian consumers by Poland. The increase in export volumes of Ukrainian apples was served by a large harvest in 2018, as well as the excess of supply over demand in the markets inside the country and the reduction in the cost of these fruits.
