Canada: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual
The 2014 growing and harvest seasons were uneventful for the Canadian apple and pear sectors with production volumes estimated only slightly below last year’s level. Post anticipates small increases in imports into 2015, with the U.S. accounting for 80 percent of apple imports into Canada, and for over 50 percent of pear imports. Demand for fresh table grapes remains constant and the market continues to be supplied almost exclusively via imports, with over half of U.S. origin.
