"Europe is never too green. Apples from France, good for the soil, good for you" is a campaign launched by the European Union and Interfel.

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).

In the 2024-2025 agricultural season, the apple harvest in the European Union is expected to remain below normal, according to an overview material of the electronic publication FreshPlaza. The strongest decline is looming in Poland, but harvests will also be weak in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Greece, while the situation is more favorable in Italy, Spain and France. In the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, almost all production regions expect a weaker harvest, with the only exception being Germany's Bodensee region, where the latest estimates point to a 13% increase in quantities compared to last year. Apple production in Greece was affected by high temperatures, starting with the warm winter. In July, however, there was a heat wave of over 42 degrees Celsius for several days and this had a bad effect on the size of the fruit, although, fortunately, not on their quality. The harvest in Poland will remain about 20% below last year's, and a rather volatile season is shaping up for local exporters.
