Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fresh apples, pears and quinces in Cyprus showed notable growth in 2019, surpassing 13 990 t, before moderating and stabilizing around 13 500 to 13 800 t in the subsequent years. After a slight contraction in 2020, consumption recovered and remained relatively flat through 2023, reflecting a mature market phase.

From 2021, the market was influenced by heightened regulatory scrutiny, including increased controls for pesticide residues in fruits and stricter legislation governing the use of plant protection products. These measures aimed to bolster food safety standards and could have affected production costs and consumer perception. The following year, upward price pressures for fresh produce and broader global supply chain disruptions contributed to the stabilization of overall consumption volumes.

Domestic production demonstrated a general upward trend until 2022, reaching 3 860 t, but contracted in 2023. Imports consistently supplied the bulk of the market, ensuring steady availability despite fluctuations in local output.
