EU-28: Stone Fruit Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

EU-28 production of peaches and nectarines in MY 2017/18 is estimated at 4 million MT, 6 percent higher compared to the previous harvest due to favorable weather conditions. Total cherry production in MY 2017/18 is projected at 576,346 MT, a 21 percent decrease compared with last season, following the downward trend of the last two years, where the growth in Italy and Spain could not compensate for the strong decline in Poland and Germany. Due to the Russian ban, the value of EU-28 stone fruit exports experienced important declines. During MY 2016/17 volumes of cherries imported from the United States decreased by 47 percent. In MY 2017/18 U.S. cherries exports may also be hurt by the French pesticide ban.
