exports amounted to approximately 2.4 million tons,
for receipts of €2.136 billion, down €509 million over
the same period a year ago.
Exports declined across the board in all markets,
although to differing extent depending on country. For
example, the drop in AUV registered we find in
France, the UK, Spain, the Czech Republic and the
Netherlands resulted in a rise in volumes. Conversely,
volumes posted a decline in Germany, Switzerland,
Austria, Greece, Poland, Belgium and the Russian
Federation despite the drop in prices (tab. 3).
The biggest losses were posted by peach and nectarine,
kiwi, apple, watermelon, hazelnut, strawberry
and table grape. By contrast, orange prices rose on
low supply volumes. In effect, the lowest trade volumes
were registered by orange, lemon, table grape,
strawberry, sweet chestnut, pear and hazelnut, whereas
kiwi, peach, nectarine, watermelon, apple and
banana recorded the highest export volumes (tab. 1).
