Agreste’s rapid-information note of 13 October estimated French table-apple output at 1.365 million tonnes as of 1 October, 15% below the previous year. It linked the decline to summer heatwaves, alternate bearing after the large 2025 harvest and a smaller productive area.

All producing regions were affected. September 2026 producer prices were 8% above a year earlier. This is a national crop estimate; the source does not quantify each factor’s separate contribution.
