South Africa: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Semi-annual
Post estimates that the 2015/16 MY production of apples and pears will increase by about one percent to 930,000 MT and 410,000 MT, respectively, based on increases in area planted which was partially offset by the impact of dry weather conditions. Table grape production is estimated to decrease by about 2.7% to 283,700 MT in the 2015/16 MY, based on the dry weather conditions that resulted in smaller grape sizes.
