The Krasnodar Region is the second-largest apple producer in Russia. In 2025, its share in the commercial sector of apple production stood at 17.8%, down from 29.0% in 2024; this noticeable decline in 2025 was caused by spring frosts during the blossoming period. Virtually all apples sold in the area are domestically grown.

Consequently, small-lot prices here are significantly lower than in most parts of the country due to minimal logistics costs and the near-absence of imported fruit. On average, the Krasnodar Region produces 5 to 6 times more apples than it consumes. In recent years, annual supplies to other Russian regions have been estimated at 350,000 to 430,000 tons. The only exception was the 2025/2026 agricultural year, when lower harvest volumes reduced outbound volumes to under 280,000 tons.
