World pear production for MY 2023/24 is projected up more than 275,000 tons to 25.2 million

03.07.2024 12:31 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) — According to the report of the USDA Fresh Apples, Grapes, and Pears: World Markets and Trade (June 2024), world pear production for MY 2023/24 is projected up more than 275,000 tons to 25.2 million as greater supplies in China more than offset losses from weather- damaged crops in the European Union.

Exports are forecast up more than 100,000 tons to 1.8 million as higher shipments from China and South Africa are partially offset by lower shipments

from the European Union and Turkey.

China production is expected to rise 600,000 tons to 19.6 million as normal weather conditions permit a recovery from last year’s frost-damaged crop. Investment in new irrigation and fertilizer technologies as well as new varieties have more than offset the decline in area planted, leading to higher volumes and improved quality. Exports are projected up nearly 40 percent to 565,000 tons on higher exportable supplies and strong shipments to top Asia

markets and Russia. China remains the top exporter of pears accounting for nearly a third of global exports.

EU production is estimated down 250,000 tons to 1.8 million as losses in Italy led to the smallest crop in 18 years. Exports are forecast down 48,000 tons to 300,000 on lower exportable supplies. Imports are projected up nearly the same amount to 180,000 tons to satisfy demand.

U.S. production is estimated up 15,000 tons to 602,000 on higher yields despite continued declines in acreage. NASS surveyed industry and updated U.S. production in the May 2024 Noncitrus Fruits and Nuts 2023 Summary report. Exports are projected up 15 percent to 115,000 tons with greater shipments to Mexico and Canada. Imports are expected to rise slightly to 75,000 tons as increased shipments from China balance reductions from Argentina

and South Korea.

Argentina production is forecast down 33,000 tons to 621,000 due to poor growing conditions and higher production costs. Exports are forecast up slightly to 320,000 tons making Argentina the largest Southern Hemisphere exporter of pears and the second largest globally.

Chile production is expected to fall by 10,000 tons to 202,000 marking the third consecutive year of decline. Exports are projected down 5,000 tons to 100,000, the lowest level in over 30 years.

South Africa production is forecast up 30,000 tons to 530,000 due to optimal winter conditions with adequate rain and chill hours. Exports are expected to rise by 40,000 tons to 280,000 on greater exportable supplies and strong shipments to the European Union
