Tridge summary

China's leadership in the global apple export market is being challenged in the 2022/23 season due to a significant reduction in export volumes, attributed to weather-related production declines that have dropped its apple production by 4-5 million tons, resulting in an estimated 25% decrease in exports, making it the smallest in many years. This situation is anticipated to allow Italy or Poland to take the top spot in the world apple export rankings.
