Polish apple exports to Ukraine have grown sixfold over the last year, as Russia still upholds a trade embargo with Poland.

The export market for Polish apples in Ukraine increased by 4,000 metric tonnes to 25,000 metric tonnes between July 2014 and March of this year, according to fruit-inform.com, a website specialising in the Eastern-European fruit market.
Poland accounted for 80 percent of the entire Ukrainian apple import market.
Unfortunately this still does not make up for the market which was lost because of the Russian trade embargo.
Prior to the Ukrainian crisis, Russia had been the largest export market for Polish apples.
Since then, the Polish government has been looking at other foreign markets including Algeria and India. (rg)
