New Zealand: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Semi-annual
New Zealand deciduous fruit exports at 351,000 metric tons for MY2015/2016 are three percent greater than the previous forecast, because of an almost perfect growing season in the main growing region. Grower returns for CY2015 were up 15-20% on a per hectare basis making three profitable years in a row now. The outlook for CY2016 grower returns is similar to CY2015 if not slightly better. The sector is in expansion mode.
