Tridge summary

Argentina's cherry production in Río Negro and Neuquén regions is expected to reach a record high, with full harvests in the Chubut region and the start of harvests in Sarmiento and Los Antiguos. Despite challenges like climatic conditions, the country has seen an increase in exportable balances due to improved management and productivity. The province of Río Negro has had favorable weather conditions for full production this year. Argentina's cherry strategy includes positioning in earlier windows, with early varieties like Nimba and Pacific Red being commercialized for the first time.

The industry relies on quality fruit, with the majority going by air to China and other markets, with Chubut primarily targeting the American market and some late supply going to China and others.
