Tridge summary

The global peach and nectarine harvest is projected to see a slight increase to 21.8 million tonnes in 2021/22, primarily due to a recovery in production in China.

EU production is predicted to decline significantly due to adverse weather conditions, leading to a drop in exports. In contrast, US production is anticipated to rise for the fourth year in a row, with increased yields and recoveries from previous setbacks, contributing to higher exports and imports.
