EU commercial apple production in Marketing Year (MY) 2021/22 is forecast at 11 MMT, an increase of 4.5% compared to the previous year. EU commercial pear production is expected to amount to 1.6 MMT; 28% lower than in the previous year, due to unfavorable growing conditions early in the season, while EU commercial table grape production is forecast up 1% from the previous season at 1.38 MMT. COVID-19 did not impact production volumes but did increase production costs due to the imposition of COVID-19-related sanitary standards in the harvesting and distribution process.
