  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

In marketing year 2018/2019, FAS Seoul projects that Korea’s pear production will decline by close to 20 percent from the previous marketing year to 214,000 MT, because of a decrease in planted area, and lower yields due to poor weather. Responding to the decrease in supply, Korean pear consumption is also expected to drop by a similar percentage from the previous marketing year to 179,000 MT. Likewise, exports are also expected to decrease to 28,000 MT, a 12 percent decrease from the previous year.
