Link to report:
Post forecasts fresh deciduous fruit production to rebound to 486,850 MT for apples and 625,400 MT for pears for Marketing Year (MY) 2023/24. This is due to favorable weather conditions, which have restored yields from MY 2022/23. Apple exports are expected to increase to 81,854 metric tons, while pear exports are expected to increase to 317,200 metric tons. Domestic consumption is also expected to increase in line with the production increases. The number of fruit producers in the country continues to decline due to high production costs, low fruit prices, and increased competition for land from other sectors. However, overall outlook for the Argentine fresh deciduous fruit production in MY 2023/2024 remains positive.
