Link to report:
Post estimates a decline in production and export of table grapes, apples, and pears due to moderate temperatures and unexpected rainfall during the summer, which ultimately decreased yields. The intense rainfall affected table grape crops the most, thus production and exports will decline by 21 percent in MY2020/21 totaling 615,000 metric tons (MT) and 475,000 MT, respectively. In MY2020/21, apple production will reach 1,095,000 MT (4.8 percent decrease) and exports 647,000 MT (2.0 percent decrease). Pear production will reach 200,000 MT (9.1 percent decline) and 106,000 (8.6 percent decline).
