Due to bad weather during the flowering and fruit growing seasons, Korean fresh apple production is projected to decrease by 14 percent to 467,800 metric tons (MT) in Marketing Year (MY) 2018/19. Meanwhile, the area where apples are grown continues to shift northward in response to localized effects of climate change. Consumption is expected to decrease in line with a decline in production and the concomitant rise in product pricing.
