Australia: Stone Fruit Annual
FAS/Canberra forecasts Australian stone fruit (cherry and peach/nectarine) fruit production to continue to expand in MY 2019/20, with all of the increase expected to go to exports. Both cherry and peach/nectarine exports to China have surged in recent years as a result of expanded market access. Stone fruit imports, almost entirely counter-seasonal fruit from the United States, are forecast to remain steady in MY 2019/20.
