Argentina: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Semi-annual
For CY 2017, production of fresh apples and pears is revised down to 530,000 MT and 500,000 MT, respectively, and table grape production will remain unchanged at 40,000 MT. Production of all three types of fresh deciduous fruit is forecast to be below normal levels as a result of unfavorable weather conditions. Apple and pear exports are forecast to decrease to 90,000 (for apples) and 300,000 MT (for pears), and remain stable for table grapes at 8,000 MT. Domestic consumption for apples and pears will go down, following the decrease in production, and table grape consumption will remain unchanged.
