Taiwan: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Abundant local fruit harvests drove down fruit prices and reduced demand for apples and other imported fruit in the first half of 2018. As a result, MY2017/18 apple consumption fell 8 percent, to 156,051 tons. Over 99 percent of apples in Taiwan are imported. U.S. apple exports to Taiwan fell 18 percent in MY2017/18, to 49,340 tons. U.S. organic apple exports, boosted by strong consumer demand for organics, escaped this downward momentum and grew one percent, to 4,307 tons. Apple consumption is forecast to rebound 3.5 percent to 161,500 tons in MY2018/19.
