Australia: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Australia’s table grape production is expected to continue to expand in marketing year (MY) 2020/21 and is forecast to reach a record 240,000 metric tons (MT), up 15,000 MT from the revised MY 2019/20 estimate. This higher production is due to increased vine plantings coming into fruiting, and nearly all of this increased production is expected to go for export. MY 2019/20 exports reached a record level of 152,500 MT as a result of strengthening exports to China and Southeast Asia, despite some COVID-19- related shipping disruptions. Further increases in production and exports are expected in the next few years due to continued growth in plantings and vines coming into production.
