Apples from Poland for importers in United Arab Emirates

We are a family orchard group from Grójec, Poland, shipping our own apples directly to importers and re-exporters in the Gulf. For the UAE we load Gala (Gala Royal, Gala Must, Schniga SchniCo Red), Red Delicious (Red Chief, Jeromine) and Golden Delicious under GLOBALG.A.P. Chain of Custody. Send your specification on WhatsApp and we reply with packing, calibre and price from the orchard.

EU apple exports to United Arab Emirates

Source: UN Comtrade, HS 0808 10 (fresh apples), EU exports outside the Union, 2025 vs 2024 — analysis by Agriteo. Agriteo: EU apple exports 2025 — 1.05 million tonnes, top 10 markets

The UAE was the fastest-growing destination for EU apples in 2025: 37 716 tonnes, up 48.3% in a single year. A large share of Gulf trade passes through Dubai and Jebel Ali for re-export, so importers here buy on consistency of pack and reliability of loading dates as much as on price.

• Fastest-growing market in the dataset — +48.3% year on year.
• Re-export hub: pack and label consistency matters because fruit is often moved on to neighbouring markets.
• We confirm loading dates directly as growers, with no trader in between to shift them.
