New varieties of apples move of the classic "big five" in Europe
For many years the classic varieties of apples "Walsall five" - Gala, Braeburn, Golden Gingold and El'star was 85% of the area of Northern European gardens. But in recent years, as noted Belgian horticulturist Florent Geerdes, there is a rapid transition to new varieties

"Grades, which previously accounted for 85% of our space in the nursery, now is only 15%. Let's look at Golden. The demand in Morocco and Algeria is still there, but this is where it ends. The demand for apples Braeburn completely dried up. The demand for Cangold also minimal. This variety is still grown in Belgium, Poland and Germany, but in small quantities. El'star has a small range in Belgium. However, it still retains its position in Germany and the Netherlands. Gala, on the contrary, is the most popular variety in the world. However, I assume that within three to four years the situation will change for the Gala," says Florent.

"From five classic varieties is almost nothing left. Currently, they are fully caught up with the new club and conceptual varieties. Although not every manufacturer is the grower has access to them, the shift is obvious. Here, in our nurseries, we grow varieties such as Space crunch (Cosmic Crisp), Magic star (Magic Star) and Vaillant (Wellant). Then Rockit, Smitten, Cherish and GS-66. Gaining popularity Dazzle, Snapdragon and Ruby Frost. Over the past two years these Apple varieties have almost completely replaced the classic varieties.

This partly occurred because of overproduction last year, which led to a sharp drop in prices. Low prices, in turn, has led to fierce competition currently. North-Western Europe is also a very expensive production area for the commodity grades. In other places in the world farmers can grow those varieties are much cheaper.

European farmers can no longer make a profit, growing five classic varieties. They should strive to innovate and upgrade. But many farmers just don't know what to put. We must give them an alternative with new varieties. Also, growers should concentrate on their own brand and image. It is necessary to tell the customer the interesting history of apples and induce him to buy," concludes Florent.
