Tridge summary

Europe's stone fruit production, including peaches, nectarines, and pavias, is projected to reach 2.9 million tons, equal to the 2020 level and a slight increase from last year. However, this is still 19% lower than the average from 2016 to 2020 due to adverse weather conditions like frost, particularly in Spain. The production varies by country, with France approaching its potential and Greece returning to normal levels after a downturn in 2021. Italy is expected to see a significant increase, but faces challenges like decreasing cultivation areas and higher costs. Spain's production is predicted to decline for the third year in a row.
