Poland is EU’s largest apple producer and exporter and its apple production is estimated at around 2.9 million tons of which the country exports around 900,000 tonnes. The Polish apple industry has been in talks with Russia to revoke the ban, but has also started looking for alternative markets, such as USA, North Africa, Persian Gulf and India. According to the chairman of the Polish Fruit Growers Association Miroslaw Maliszewski, Polish apple exporters are planning to visit India and commence exports to India still this year.

"Doing business in India is very complicated, not only because of quite big corruption in that country but also challenging domestic situation there" Anna Kalata, the deputy head of the Polish-Indo Chamber of Commerce in Warsaw told our reporter Danuta Isler. India is the world’s fifth largest producer of apples with nearly half of the fruit imports coming there from China.
