Below are the 15 countries that exported the highest dollar value worth of apples exports by country during 2013:

United States: $1,120,563,000 (14.0% of total apples exports)
China: $1,030,196,000 (12.9%)
Italy: $934,683,000 (11.7%)
Chile: $856,932,000 (10.7%)
France: $652,166,000 (8.2%)
Poland: $568,674,000 (7.1%)

China is the largest producer, but eats a lot of apples. Russia imports more than anyone.
