Tridge summary

The European Union (EU) has seen a decrease in peach and nectarine imports in the 2019/2020 season, with a slight increase expected in the upcoming season due to anticipated reduced production within the EU. The majority of these imports are sourced from Chile, South Africa, and Morocco, and the EU imposes significant taxes on these imports, totaling nearly € 66 million in the recent season. Despite the import decline, the export value of EU-grown peaches and nectarines has surged by 16% to almost € 139 million, with a volume increase of 15% to 178.9 thousand tons. Ukraine, Belarus, and Switzerland are key markets for these exports. However, a potential decline in EU exports for the 2020/2021 season is on the horizon due to the expected decrease in production, as reported by Anastasia Kirienko from AgroPortal.ua.
