South Korea: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual

In marketing year (MY) 2020/21 (July-June), FAS Seoul projects Korea’s pear production to decrease by 20 percent (to 160,000 MT) mainly due to reduced planted area and unfavorable weather conditions during the flowering and fruit growing seasons. MY 2020/21 fresh pear consumption is also projected to fall by 22.6 percent (to 133,000 MT) mainly due to reduced consumer demand for pears. Subtropical and tropical fruit production (competing directly with pears) continues to expand in Korea with the shifting climate, but remains limited to 164 hectares total, mostly in greenhouses.
