On the other hand, France saw a drop in apple prices, of 3.1% compared to October, and remained slightly below last year’s levels. This decline is linked to higher production volumes responding to stable domestic demand. Meanwhile, Italy saw slight price increases, with November prices increasing 0.6% month-on-month and remaining relatively stable compared to the previous year, benefiting from strong export demand for higher quality varieties.
