China: Stone Fruit Annual
China’s MY 2016/17 peach and nectarine production is forecast at 13.5 MMT, up 2 percent from the previous year as result of new bearings and increased planting acreage. Cherry production is forecast to increase by nearly 30 percent to 320,000 MT in MY 2016/17, largely due to new bearings. Cherry imports are forecast to increase 9 percent to 100,000 MT in MY 2016/17. The United States remains the second largest cherry supplier after Chile.
