  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   GM2024-0008
On August 7-9, 2024, the World Apple and Pear Association (WAPA) presented the 2024 EU apple and pear crop forecast at the 49th edition of the Prognosfruit convention. WAPA forecasts the 2024 EU fresh apple crop at 10.2 million metric tons (MT), 11.2 percent below the 2023 harvest. The reduction is a result of poor pollination and late frosts. Production of fresh pears is forecast at 1.79 million MT or a 4.9 percent increase compared to the record-low production in 2023. This forecast reflects the situation as of mid-July.
