Argentina: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Semi-annual
For CY 2018/2019, production of fresh apples and pears is revised upward to 590,000 MT and 600,000 MT, respectively, from official USDA estimates. Exports are forecast to decrease to 90,000 MT for apples and 290,000 for pears due primarily to abundant production in Northern Hemisphere countries and reduced competitiveness of Argentine exports in international markets.
