Fruit Prices – How Much Do They Cost?

In January 2026, wholesale prices for locally grown fruits in England and Wales reflected typical seasonal shifts alongside rising production expenses. Apples and pears experienced roughly a 2% overall increase in grower costs, driven by higher labour, overhead, and post-harvest processing fees. Official Defra figures show average wholesale prices early in the month ranged between £0.85 and £1.10 per kilogram for common dessert apples, while pears fetched £1.20 to £1.50 per kilogram, varying by type and quality. Meanwhile, retail shoppers benefit from ongoing promotions on fresh items like blueberries and baby plum tomatoes, which help ease budget constraints amid these cost pressures. Overall, these trends emphasize the importance of ensuring fair returns to sustain British fruit farming long-term.
