otal export (including re-export) the majority is in exporting foreign product. Last season of the total apple export (280.000 ton) three quarters was re-export.
With apple import, most are destined for re-export. Last season due to a tight market this was 'only' 64%, in the season 2011/12 the re-export portion was at best 83%. From the production of Dutch apples most were domestically consumed (including processing). Last season three quarters of Dutch apples stayed in their own country.
