Pear Prices in Warsaw Stable Amid Early August Supply

Wholesale prices for both domestic and imported pears in Poland remain stable at the start of August, with the first local harvests entering the market. Weather conditions in July supported fruit growth, but groundwater levels remain low.

At the Bronisze wholesale market near Warsaw, domestic Conference pears are trading at €1.2–1.5/kg (5–6.5 PLN/kg) as of early August 2026. Imported pears are priced slightly higher, at €1.6–1.7/kg (7–7.25 PLN/kg). The price range reflects the start of the domestic pear season, with imported fruit still present due to ongoing demand and gradual increase in local supplies.

Polish orchards began the early harvest of pears in late July and early August. Growers in central Poland report that the fruit is reaching marketable maturity. The availability of domestic pears is expected to increase in the coming weeks as harvest continues, gradually reducing reliance on imported fruit on the wholesale market.

Demand from buyers remains steady as the summer fruit season progresses. Wholesalers report consistent interest from retailers and local markets, with buyers monitoring fruit size and quality closely due to variable growing conditions earlier in the season.

Weather conditions in Poland during July included above-average rainfall in some regions, which supported fruit development and helped orchards avoid the severe drought currently affecting western Europe. However, groundwater and deep water levels remain significantly lower than a decade ago, which could impact irrigation and yields in the longer term.

In Western Europe, including the Netherlands and France, ongoing drought and water restrictions are expected to affect pear sizes and quality. This may influence the availability and pricing of imported pears in the Polish market in the coming months.
