European Union: Stone Fruit Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   E42023-0035

In MY 2023/24, EU production of peaches and nectarines is estimated to amount to 3.6 million MT while cherry production is anticipated to amount to 657,435 MT. Unfavorable growing conditions in main producing Member States support the reduction in cherry production, while in peaches and nectarines, improved production levels in Spain offset poor performance registered in Italy. EU fresh stone fruit consumption has come under pressure due to the high inflation rate derived from the conflict in Ukraine.
