Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to identify trends in the supply and demand of the apple market in the V4 countries. The data for the analysed years 2002- 2023 are obtained from Eurostat. Descriptive and regression analysis is used. The results of the analyses show that the highest production and consumption of apples is in Poland. Poland has the largest area of apple orchards, but also the highest yield among the countries surveyed. Supply modelling shows that the supply of apples is most influenced by yield. The modelling of the demand for apples shows that in the V4 countries with lower domestic production, the demand for apples is most significantly influenced by imports.
