The graph of seasonal dynamics of prices for many fruits in Moldova looks like the relief of a rocky terrain – a gorge between two mountains. One peak is the beginning of the sales season, the second peak is its end. The specifics of the season are usually in how precipitous the descent and ascent are, how deep and wide the bottom of the gorge is. Last week, the Moldovan plum market reached this very bottom.

Since last week, the Moldovan plum market has reached the stage of seasonal decline in export sales, which will tentatively last until the beginning of the last decade of September, – reports Logos Press.

By now, wholesale prices for apples of early (summer) varieties have decreased approximately twice, from 20 to 9 lei/kg on average, since their appearance on the “fresh” market of Moldova a month and a half ago, Logos Press reports.

In Moldova, the sales season for apples of the 2024 crop is nearing its end. Some large traders claim that export-quality stocks were exhausted as early as April, commodity balances are small, and they are interested in the domestic market “only insofar as”. There are market operators who believe that chain retailers in late spring – early summer may even face the need to import quality apples to RM.

During the last week of April and the first week of May this year, the wholesale price of apples of most varieties increased by 10-15% – up to 12 lei/kg on average, – reports Logos Press.
