Wholesale pineapple prices on the European market
Pineapples are one of the most widely consumed tropical fruits in Europe, available year-round through established import chains. Costa Rica is the dominant supplier, accounting for the vast majority of European imports, followed by Ecuador, Ghana, and Cameroon. 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 — Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and France.
What types of pineapples do we track?
For precise market analysis, we divide quotations into several important segments relevant to importers and traders:
- MD2 (Gold / Extra Sweet): the dominant commercial variety on the European market, known for golden flesh and high sugar content
- Victoria pineapples: smaller, aromatic variety from Mauritius and Réunion, positioned as a premium product in French and UK markets
- Pineapples by calibre: pricing varies significantly by fruit size (5-10 count per box), with larger fruit typically commanding higher per-unit prices
Factors influencing pineapple prices
Pineapple prices are influenced by Costa Rican production volumes, ocean freight rates from Central America and West Africa, port congestion in European hubs like Antwerp and Rotterdam, and seasonal demand peaks around Easter and summer. Sustainability certifications also increasingly affect pricing tiers. Using price charts on Fresh-market.info, wholesale buyers and importers can track historical trends and forecast price changes to secure the most favorable deals.
