New Zealand: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

New Zealand is forecast to produce a near record apple crop in 2020/2021 as a result of expanded area and positive growing conditions so far. However, COVID-19 related issues, and especially border restrictions, are creating uncertainty regarding the industry having sufficient labor for pruning, thinning and particularly for harvest. Apple production is forecast at 583,000 metric tons in 2020/2021, down less than one percent from the previous year. Exports are forecast at 390,000 metric tons, down slightly from the record shipments of 2019/2020.
