Product Information
Apples are a core fresh fruit category in global trade, with year-round availability supported by multiple producing regions across both hemispheres. Exporters listed in this category supply a wide range of varieties—such as Gala, Fuji, Red Delicious, Granny Smith and others—to importers, supermarket programmes, wholesalers and juice or cider processors. Buyers manage complex sourcing calendars to align harvest windows, storage capacity and retail promotions across markets.
Key specification points for fresh apples include variety, size count, colour percentage, firmness, sugar levels (brix), storage regime (regular cold store vs. controlled atmosphere), and allowed defect thresholds. Exporters can provide apples packed in trays or loose in cartons for retail distribution, as well as industrial grades intended for juicing or processing. Many suppliers hold certifications such as GlobalGAP, BRC, IFS and organic approvals where relevant, along with retailer-specific audit credentials.
Apple logistics revolve around careful post-harvest handling, pre-cooling, controlled-atmosphere storage and temperature-controlled transport. Exporters coordinate packing, palletising, cold-chain integrity and documentation, including phytosanitary certificates, residue test reports and origin documentation. This end-to-end management helps buyers reduce shrink, ensure consistent shelf life and satisfy regulatory and retailer standards in destination markets.
