Tridge summary

The global peach and nectarine harvest is projected to see a slight increase to 21.8 million tonnes in 2021/22, primarily due to a recovery in production in China. However, exports are expected to decrease due to reduced shipments from China and Uzbekistan, while imports may grow despite higher costs and quarantine requirements. EU production is predicted to decline significantly due to adverse weather conditions, leading to a drop in exports. In contrast, US production is anticipated to rise for the fourth year in a row, with increased yields and recoveries from previous setbacks, contributing to higher exports and imports.
