Warsaw Wholesale Food Market in Bronisze
At the Warsaw Wholesale Food Market, pineapples are priced at 1.40 EUR per kg as of October 11th. This slight decrease from last month’s price of 1.45 EUR per kg suggests a marginal increase in supply, possibly due to favorable harvest conditions.
Subcarpathian Wholesale Center AGROHURT
On October 9th, AGROHURT in the Subcarpathian region reported a price of 1.55 EUR per kg. This is the highest price among the major Polish markets, driven by lower local production and higher transportation costs influencing the market.

Comparison with European Market Prices
In Europe, pineapple prices demonstrate a wider range. Spain's Mercamadrid reports an average price of 1.60 EUR per kg as of October 10th, slightly above Polish averages, driven by higher demand in Southern Europe. Meanwhile, Germany's Hamburg Market offers competitive pricing similar to Warsaw's at approximately 1.42 EUR per kg, showing a slight increase due to cooling temperatures affecting fruit transportation.
Analysis of Changes and Price Trends
The slight decrease in Warsaw's prices and the stability in Krakow suggest a balanced market influenced by a steady supply chain. However, AGROHURT's higher pricing might indicate regional supply shortages or increased logistical costs. European markets, pushing slightly higher prices, demonstrate stronger demand in urban centers despite varied climatic conditions affecting supply.
Short-term Forecast for Pineapple Prices
