Link to report:
In marketing year (MY) 2018/19, Bulgarian apple and pear production increased by 12 and 18 percent, respectively, due to favorable weather, higher yields, and increased area harvested. In contrast, table grape production declined by 10 percent due to lower area harvested. Assuming favorable weather conditions, prospects for MY2019/20, Post expects production to increase. Apple imports increased in MY2017/18 and total consumption exceeded 100,000 metric tons (MT) for the first time. Post expects pear and table grape imports in MY2019/20 to rebound and respond to higher consumer demand.
