Spring is here and to celebrate it we have introduced an apple variety from Poland! The apple industry in Poland is relatively unknown to the average Brit.
So I have decided to give you all a bit of information regarding the Polish apple industry, which is actually quite substantial:
- Poland produces around 2 million tons of apples per year.
- Poland was the second largest apple juice concentrate producer after Argentina in 1999, and still is a major producer today.
- Poland is one of the top five apple producing countries in the world!
Not bad for a country that only recently joined the European Union and battled for a long time to come to grips with capitalism. The Poles can surely hold their own in the apple industry! So hats off to them.
Have a Fruitful week!
