Earlier Report Observations
The apple market volume in Greece showed notable variability from 2018 to 2023. It started at 228.5 thousand tons in 2018, dipped to 213.8 thousand tons in 2019, then rose to a peak of 249.6 thousand tons in 2020. After that, a gradual decline followed, bringing the market volume down to 206.1 thousand tons by 2023.
For 2024, apple production in Greece was estimated to fall by 27.4% compared to 2023, influenced by adverse climatic and production conditions across the European Union. This production drop was accompanied by a shift in consumer preferences, where younger generations showed reduced interest in apples and increased preference for other fruits like avocados, affecting overall market dynamics.
