By 2030, average temperatures could increase by 1.5°C, the number of heat waves could quadruple and droughts will be twice as frequent. It is in this context that the National Federation of Fruit Producers commissioned AXA Climate to assess the impacts of climate change on 16 fruit crops in France (apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, apricots, cherries, plums, walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, raspberries, blueberries, blackcurrants, currants, kiwis and table grapes), in 25 departments, thus representing 76% of production areas. The study thus covers 16 fruit crops in France, in 25 departments representing 76% of production areas. Working closely with FNP Fruits agronomy experts, AXA Climate scientists analyzed a series of relevant climate indicators and their effects for each crop, depending on the different stages of their growth. The average temperature should thus increase by 1.2° by 2030 in the 25 departments studied, while the maximum summer temperatures will exceed the ...
