EU apple exports to United Kingdom

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 United Kingdom is the second-largest non-EU buyer of EU apples overall at 154 433 tonnes in 2025, but Poland accounts for only 15 261 tonnes of that — under 10%. That gap is the opportunity: most Polish volume goes elsewhere, so there is room for UK buyers to source direct rather than through re-sellers.

• Large market, small Polish share — 15 261 t of 154 433 t in 2025.
• Post-Brexit imports require full EU-origin paperwork; we issue documents with every load: Each load ships with a commercial invoice, packing list, phytosanitary certificate and certificate of origin, plus the transport document (CMR or bill of lading). Any additional documents required by the importing country are agreed before loading.
• Overland reefer transport keeps lead times short compared with deep-sea origins.
