European Union: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   E42022-0067

EU commercial apple production in Marketing Year (MY) 2022/23 is forecast at 11.9 MMT, an increase of 2.9% compared to the previous year. EU commercial pear production is expected to amount to 1.99 MMT, a rebound from the 14% lower crop in the previous year. EU commercial table grape production is forecast up 11.5% from the previous season at 1.57 MMT. However, the lack of seasonal workers and high energy prices may prompt farmers to leave some of their orchards unharvested. A higher than usual share of apples is expected to be diverted from the fresh market to the processing sector early in the season to avoid high storage costs.
