Processed Tomato Products Situation and Outlook 
(In Selected Countries)

GLOBAL PRODUCTION & TRADE

World production of tomatoes for processing is expected to reach 22.3 million tons in 2002/03, up 9 percent from the previous year.  The United States produces approximately 46 percent of all the tomatoes for processing produced worldwide.   

The top four producers in 2001/02 are the United States (10.1 million tons), Italy (4.7 million tons), Spain (1.45 million tons) and Turkey (1.45 million tons).  Other key producers include Brazil, Portugal, and Chile.

Production of canned tomato pack in selected countries in 2002/03 is forecast at 2 million tons, down 2 percent from last year, due to an expected drop in production in both Italy and Greece.  During this same period, exports of tomato paste from selected countries are forecast at 928,000 tons, up 8 percent from 2001/02, while exports of canned tomato pack are forecast at 1.01 million tons, up 2 percent from 2001/02.

Western Hemisphere

United States

Production of processing tomatoes under contract in 2002 is estimated at 10.1 million tons, up 22 percent from 2001.  The increase in output is due mainly to a major increase in area planted caused by smaller carryover of stocks and higher wholesale prices for tomato products during the marketing year.  The bulk of U.S. tomatoes for processing are for tomato paste output. 

California accounts for about 95 percent of the U.S. processing tomato crop.  As of May 15, California’s tomato processors reported they have or will have contracts for 9.53 million tons of processing tomatoes for 2002.  This production is 23 percent more than the contracted production of last year.  Planted area for contracted production is expected to rise 11 percent from last year to 114,121 hectares.  Due to excellent weather conditions, processors are expecting a high yielding crop.

Mexico

Production of tomatoes for processing in 2002 is forecast at 96,000 tons, down 30 percent from an earlier forecast, mainly due to a reduction in planted area.  The reduction is attributed to less utilization from the processing industry, decreased international demand, and lower world prices.   Tomato paste production in Mexico in 2002/03 (March to February) is forecast at 11,000 tons, down 22 percent from the revised volume in 2001.  As in previous years, world supplies continue to be very high and costs of production continues to rise.  Industry experts claim that importing tomato paste from the United States, China, and Chile is less expensive than producing in Mexico, thus forcing Mexican companies to reduce production.  The situation has become so critical that some companies have completely stopped production and importation of tomato paste for processing into other products.

Mexico’s possibilities of increasing its tomato paste exports have dwindled as the United States has increased tomato paste exports.  In addition, China’s access to the international market, with high levels of production, has lowered international prices.  As the industry finds that it is more profitable to import tomato paste, exports for 2002 are forecast to decrease further.  The main markets for Mexican tomato paste are still the United States and South America.  Tomato paste imports for 2002 are expected to increase to meet the expected demand from the domestic market, as the industry faces a decrease in production and international prices remain low. 

Brazil

Production of tomatoes for processing in 2002 is forecast at 1.27 million tons, up 2 percent from the revised level in the previous year.  Sales and associated prices of the 2001 crop were considerably better than during the previous year, thereby encouraging producers to increase acreage and production.  Increased success in fighting pests in the Bahia region should also contribute to the production increase.  New higher-yielding tomato varieties are also expected to further boost yields and production.  Nearly all of Brazil’s processing tomatoes are made into paste.  Output of tomato paste in 2002 is forecast at 130,000 tons unchanged from the previous year. 

Historically, the majority of Brazilian imports of tomato products are in the form of tomato paste, which is used to supplement domestic production and is further processed in Brazil into consumer-ready sauces and other similar products.  In the past, the vast majority of Brazilian imports of tomato products have come from Chile, as they are the largest and most efficient producer in the region.  Imports of most tomato products dropped considerably in 1999 due to the January 1999 devaluation of the Brazilian currency increased the cost of imported products.  The United States is the leading supplier of ketchup to Brazil.

Chile

Production of tomatoes for processing in 2002 is forecast at 935,000 tons, down 4 percent from 2001, due largely to lower-than-expected tomato quality as a result of adverse weather conditions.  Tomatoes for processing in Chile are planted from mid-September through December and harvested from January 10 to April 15.  Output of tomato paste in 2002 is forecast at 102,000 tons, down 8 percent from 2001.  This drop is due in part to the lower-than-expected  output of tomatoes for processing.  

Mediterranean Area

Production of tomatoes for processing in 2002 in the major producing countries in the European Union (EU) is forecast at 8.3 million tons, about the same as the previous year.  Under the reformed common market organization (CMO) for fruits and vegetables of 2001, the minimum price for fresh tomatoes to be processed is no longer applicable.  The producer organizations and the processors now set this price.  Only tomatoes delivered by a producer organization and corresponding to some quality standards will get subsidies from the EU.  Subsidies are now paid directly to growers through the producer organizations and reduced proportionally if production exceeds the national quota.  Compensations are possible when other EU countries’ processing tomato production falls below their national quotas.  This new system seems to favor processors because they will not have to pay a fixed minimum price to growers in order to receive a processing subsidy.  In addition, the processors will be free to purchase processing tomatoes from whatever source they chose, including from foreign markets.

Spain

Production of tomatoes for processing in 2002 is forecast at 1.45 million tons, down slightly from 2001.  Improvement in mechanization, as well as new varieties and technologies, are increasing yields and productivity.  Production of canned tomatoes under the new CMO reforms for processing tomatoes will be located more and more in Extramadura, a region in western Spain where land and water are abundant. 

The market price for tomatoes for processing was about $47.30 per ton in marketing year 2001/02.  Farmers and processors have agreed to a price of $45.75 per ton for marketing year 2002/03.  Besides this market price, farmers will also receive a EU subsidy of $28.60 per ton of fresh tomatoes for processing into paste or most other tomato products and $31.30 per ton for processing into whole peeled tomatoes.  At these rates, farmers delivering to processors receive about 60 percent of their income from the market and the remaining 40 percent from EU subsidies.  If the production quotas for processing were removed, Spain could increase production dramatically.  Despite the penalty of 10 percent in the subsidy for processing tomatoes (other than whole peeled tomatoes) the production for processing remains profitable. 

In calendar year 2001, exports of tomato paste declined by 20 percent compared to the previous year. Imports of tomato paste remained stable, as a spike in imports from China was offset by a decline from other suppliers.  Spanish processors are very concerned about imports from China, which they believe will become a very strong competitor in the next few years.  Imports of whole peeled tomatoes declined dramatically due to lower local consumption.  Most exports of canned tomatoes and tomato paste went to other EU countries.  Exports of canned tomatoes to the United States rose by 20 percent in 2001.

Portugal

Production of tomatoes for processing in 2002 is forecast at 972 million tons, up six percent from 2001.  Yields for 2001/02 averaged 78 mt/hectare, 20 percent above last year, due to a combination of good weather plus some rains over the whole season.  Crop quality and color is reportedly very good.  In addition, industrial yields and quality are also reported to be good, although the average solid content in the crop is considered normal.  Roughly 80 percent of total production in Portugal is produced in the Ribatejo e Oeste and the Algarve areas.  Most of the tomatoes for processing are produced on small 5-10 hectare plots.  However, the structure of the industry is changing, and an estimated 50 percent of all tomato areas (6,000 hectares) now consist of larger-scale plots with new direct-seeding technologies.  All areas are irrigated.  While the low cost of rural labor is one advantage that the Portuguese sector enjoys, costs of other inputs (especially land cost) are reported to be much higher than in the rest of the EU.

Exports of tomato paste are estimated at 124,000 tons in 2001, slightly above the previous year’s level.  The main export market continues to be the EU followed by Japan.  Sales to the United States are minimal.  Processors in Portugal are very concerned about the large increase of Chinese products being imported into the EU.  Although the quality is reportedly mixed, Portuguese processors believe that the quality of Chinese products will improve in the near future.  Processors are already contemplating new products to replace the production of tomato paste.

Greece

Production of tomatoes for processing in 2002 is forecast at 880,000 tons, down 9 percent from a year ago, due largely to a decrease in planted area.  Production of tomato paste in Greece in 2002 is forecast at 134,000 tons, down 8 percent from 2001.  Only 17 plants will process tomato paste during the 2002 season compared to 38 plants in 2000.  Most of the plants are located in Macedonia, Thrace, and Thessaly.  The reduced number of operating plants reflects the financial problems of the Greek tomato paste industry.  Canned tomato production in 2002 is forecast at 28,400 tons, down 10 percent from 2001, due mostly to large 2001 ending stocks and low world prices.  Countries such as China and Israel are entering the market with extremely low prices.  At the same time, recent changes in EU policies have caused reductions in the support price paid to growers from $.07/kg to $.02/kg today.  This development has contributed to farmers’ fears that their income from industrial tomatoes will be reduced.  Most processing tomato farmers are trying to increase their income by utilizing part of their land resources for crops other than tomatoes, such as cotton, cucumber, onions, and corn.       

The foreign demand for tomato paste at present is low because of large world production levels in recent years.  At present, prices for the 2002 crop product are approximately the same as last year and Greek producers have already proceeded with advanced sales to their traditional buyers.

France

Production of tomatoes for processing in 2002 is forecast at 297,000 tons, down slightly from 2001 as a result of a decrease in subsidy for French tomato growers.  In Europe, France is a minor producer of processed tomato products, with 4 percent of the total European production.  The EU threshold for France set in 2001 by the EU under CMO for fruits and vegetables was 401,500 tons of fresh tomatoes. 

Production of tomato paste accounts for the bulk of processed tomatoes in France.  In 2002, output of paste is forecast at 42,200 tons, unchanged from the previous year.  Production of canned tomatoes for the same period is forecast at 5,900 tons, also unchanged from 2001.  France is a minor producer of processed tomato products and continues to be a net importer of both canned tomatoes and tomato paste.  There is almost no trade between the United States and France for these products.   

Italy

Production of tomatoes for processing in 2002 is forecast at 4.7 million tons, up slightly from the previous year, due to an increase in yields.  Since 2001, the Italian national production quota was set at 4.35 million tons.  That means that Italian processing tomato output exceeded the quota by over 350,000 tons, including tomato juice.  Under the new EU tomato system, growers in 2002 will receive $32/ton, down slightly from the previous year.  Subsidies are now paid directly to growers through producer organizations and reduced proportionally if production exceeds the national quota. Compensations are possible when other EU countries’ processing tomato production falls below their national quotas.  This occurred in 2001 and therefore the situation permitted a reduction to the cut in Italian subsidies. 

Italian exports of tomato products continue to increase.  Prices of Italian tomato exports remained competitive in the international market due to a large domestic supply.  Most Italian exports, especially whole tomatoes, are delivered to European and other developed countries.  However, a significant share of tomato paste exports is of low quality and is destined for Russia and some of the African countries.  Most of this tomato product is prepared using tomato paste for reprocessing imported duty-free from Greece, Turkey, China, and other countries where production costs are much lower.  In 2001, 84 percent of total tomato paste imports came from China.

Israel

Production of tomatoes for processing in 2002 is forecast at 165,000 tons, up 13 percent from the revised output in 2001, which was one of the worst years for the Israeli’s tomato processing industry. The total area planted for processing tomatoes is dictated by the quantities the processors are willing to accept.  In 2001, 1,650 hectares were planted, compared to 2,150 hectares in crop year 2000.  In 2002, planted area will remain almost the same.  The Golan Heights, previously an important growing area, mainly for the late ripening varieties, has almost abandoned tomato production due to severe water shortages.  Farms there have shifted most of their reduced irrigation quotas to their fruit orchards.  Economies of size are a key factor in the production of tomatoes for the processing industry.  They have caused most small holders to abandon the industry to large cooperative farms or private companies.  Between 85 and 90 percent of all processing tomatoes are produced on large holdings of 50 to 150 hectares.  In 2002, production of tomato paste in Israel is forecast at 18,975 tons, up 15 percent from the previous year, due mostly to a large increase in tomato deliveries to processors.  

Exports have declined steadily in recent years from a level of $33 million in 1995, to $14 million in 1999, and only $8 million in 2000.  The decline is a result of surpluses in the world market and the failure of Israeli producers to compete with low-cost producers such as China. 

Turkey

Production of tomatoes for processing in 2002 is forecast at 1.45 million tons, up 12 percent from the previous year, due mainly to insufficient local stocks and expectations for increased exports.  Commercial tomato paste production for 2002 is projected to reach 220,000 tons, up 30 percent from last year.  Higher prices, which are the result of low domestic stocks, and an expected 10-percent increase in exports, are the reasons for this increase.   Also, processors in Turkey are cautious about the potentially large output in California and extremely low export prices offered by China, and are not willing to increase their overall production volume to the 300,000-ton level that was achieved a few years ago.  Access to the EU-market also remains a major problem due to a dispute over duty free EU meat exports to Turkey.

The Turkish tomato paste industry is very dependent on exports.  In recent years, exports to traditional markets, particularly Libya and Algeria, have declined sharply as a result of political and economic problems in the importing countries.  To compensate for the loss of these markets, the Turkish industry is turning increasingly to quality markets, particularly Japan and non-EU European countries.  Japan continues to be Turkey’s leading export destination because the Japanese prefer the color and taste of Turkish paste and believe that hand picking improves the quality.  The EU is not allowing Turkey to utilize its 38,400-ton duty free tomato paste export quota due to a dispute over duty free EU meat exports to Turkey.  Over quota imports of tomato paste to the EU are subject to a 15 percent tariff.  Industry members believe that Turkey has a comparative advantage in production and processing over the European producers and will benefit greatly from the resolution of quota disputes.
