Polish apple traders eye slice of the action in lucrative market

Polish apple traders are looking for more Chinese buyers for their fruit, after the European nation signed a trade agreement with China on exports of its iconic bicolored apples to the Chinese market.

"We are talking with potential trade companies, as well as supermarkets about selling our apples in China, which is an important market for us to expand the export volume," said Waldemar Zolcik, chairman of the Association of Polish Fruit and Vegetables Distributors.

Zolcik led a trade delegation to Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province, to display Polish bicolored apples during an international food and imported goods fair in mid-June.
