The Ministry of Agriculture forecasts a 4% increase in peach production for 2024, reaching 231,000 tons, which is 3% higher than the five-year average. All regions are expected to see production growth, with Occitanie up by 3%, Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur by 4% despite a 2% reduction in surface area, and the Rhône Valley by 6%. Initially, producer prices fell due to low consumption and cool weather but rebounded in August with a 15% year-over-year increase and a 6% rise compared to the 2019-2023 average.
