Taiwan: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual
Link to report:
Taiwan’s total apple imports are forecast to increase to 145,000 metric tons (MT) in marketing year (MY) 2019/20, as imports return to normal levels following the substitution effect in MY 2018/19 due to large domestic fruit production. U.S. apple imports are forecast to end MY 2019/20 higher at 47,000 MT on increased production and availability in Washington State, which is the origin of over 95 percent of Taiwan’s U.S. apple imports. In MY 2018/19, U.S. exports slipped 14 percent to 42,303 MT and this allowed Chile to maintain its position as the leading supplier for a second straight year. Japan surpassed New Zealand as the third largest exporter at 21,396 MT in MY 2018/19 due to its expanding dominance in the premium variety segment.
