On Wednesday 17th September 2025, BAPL hosted an orchard event to showcase the British apple harvest for retailers and political stakeholders.
Set amongst extensive Gala, Jazz and Pink Lady orchards in Kent, the event showcased apple picking, the 2025 crop and plans for future growth.
More than 100 people attended the event and there was a buzz about the group as everyone recognised that this is an exciting time for UK apple and pear growers with huge potential to grow the production of our delicious and nutritious fruit.
Ali Capper, executive chair of BAPL, welcomed guests and set out British Apple and Pear Limited’s ambitious plans for the industry.
At this orchard event, BAPL was also able to share its latest data and asks that will enable the industry to meet its ambitious plans for the future.
BAPL’s thanks go to everyone who attended and to Robert Hinge and family, the Fruition PO and Worldwide Fruit for kindly hosting.
