The article reports a decrease in expected apple yields in most of France's main regions, with the exception of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, due to factors such as heavy fruit drop and adverse weather conditions. The Occitanie region is projected to see a 3% decrease in production compared to last year, while Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur is expected to see an 8% increase. Other regions like Nouvelle Aquitaine, Pays de la Loire, and Centre-Val de Loire face challenges like frost damage, cool and rainy weather, and disease and pest pressure, leading to varying yields. A detailed regional outlook by Agreste will be released in September.
