Marketable production of fresh apples in the EU for 2024/2025 is expected to fall by 10% to 10.1 million tonnes. This will be the lowest apple harvest since 2017/2018, mainly due to adverse weather conditions in the main producing countries, as shown in the Commission's autumn forecast for the short-term outlook for key crops and livestock. The decline will be felt in countries such as Poland and Germany, where the upcoming trading seasons are expected to be 20% and 16% lower respectively. A significant decrease is also expected in other producing countries, such as Italy, France, Romania, the Czech Republic, Austria and Belgium. The reduction in availability will mainly impact production destined for processing, with around 3.5 million tonnes of apples expected to be sold in the EU for this purpose, down 22% year-on-year and -15% compared to the average term of five years. Accordingly, production for fresh consumption is expected to reach 6.6 million tonnes (-3% on an annual basis, -9% compared to the five-year average).
