  • Global apple markets stayed firm during Q1’26 amid tighter inventories and steady export demand. Supply limitations in major producing countries supported bullish sentiment.
  • Higher storage, packaging, fertilizer, and freight costs increased overall supply chain expenses for growers and exporters during the quarter.
  • Demand from retailers, wholesalers, and juice processors remained healthy, especially for premium apple varieties across Asia and North America.

Global apple prices strengthened during Q1’26 due to tightening inventories and resilient international demand. In the United States, fresh apple holdings during March 2026 declined year-on-year, while export shipments remained active, tightening domestic availability further. China maintained stable import demand for premium apples as retail consumption improved across urban markets. In Europe, lower carryover inventories and weather-related supply limitations reduced market availability, while elevated cold-storage and logistics costs pressured suppliers. Rising fertilizer and transportation expenses increased upstream production costs globally during the quarter. Demand from supermarkets and beverage processors remained firm, particularly for Gala and Red Delicious varieties, accelerating inventory drawdowns across several exporting nations. Strong import activity from Asian buyers further supported global trade flows and maintained positive pricing momentum throughout Q1’26.
