Wholesale persimmon prices on the European market

Persimmons (also known as kaki or sharon fruit) are an autumn speciality gaining strong traction on European markets. Spain is the largest European producer, particularly the Ribera del Xúquer region, while Israel supplies the well-known Sharon variety. On the Fresh-market.info portal, we publish daily wholesale prices and market reports from major exchanges and wholesale markets in Poland (including Bronisze, Wroclaw, Poznan), as well as key EU countries — Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, and Germany.

What types of persimmons do we track?

For precise market analysis, we divide quotations into several important segments relevant to importers and retailers:

• Rojo Brillante: the dominant Spanish variety, sweet and seedless, sold both astringent and de-astringified (Persimon® brand)
• Sharon fruit: Israeli non-astringent variety eaten firm like an apple, popular in Northern European retail
• Hachiya and Fuyu: traditional Asian varieties appearing in specialty and ethnic food channels across Europe

Factors influencing persimmon prices

Persimmon prices depend on Spanish harvest volumes, the timing of the autumn season, cold storage availability extending the sales window, competition from other autumn fruits, and consumer awareness which continues to grow across Central and Eastern Europe. Using price charts on Fresh-market.info, wholesale buyers and retailers can track historical trends and forecast price changes to secure the most favorable deals.
