Mean of the LiveQuote indexes of 6 materials, as of 4 November 2026.

Apples and pears split cleanly in two in the figures to 4 November 2026. All four apple lines are up over three months and both pear lines are down, which leaves the family's mean at +1.3% over three months and +4.5% over one year. All six materials carry a public index.

Jonagold apple is the strongest apple at +4.9% over three months and +6.7% on the year, ahead of Morgenduft apple at +4.5% and +9.2%. Granny Smith apple gained 3.0% and 9.0%. Its note, current to 2 November, reports that Kyrgyzstan introduced a temporary ban on apple imports to support its own growers this marketing season, and that a record harvest in Brazil boosted exports.

Apple, the generic line, rose 3.3% over three months and 7.2% over a year. Its note reports that in Poland the 2026 harvest was estimated on 27 October at well below last season, and that prices at the start of the campaign were described as disappointing. Polish dessert apple prices in September were lower than a year earlier, despite the smaller crop.

Further east, Ukrainian apple exporters had suspended shipments by 26 October amid border-clearance delays and rising logistics costs, and Belarus had banned fresh apple exports, closing the last re-export route that gave Russia access to EU fruit. Jonagold and Morgenduft apples have no market note at this date.

Pear slipped 2.7% over three months and is almost unchanged on the year at +0.6%. News from Belgium on 22 October reported a smaller pear harvest, with small fruit pushing prices down. Williams pear is the weakest line, at -5.3% over three months and -6.0% over a year, and its note reports tighter supply supporting India's imported pear market in late September.
