Australia: Stone Fruit Annual
Stone fruit production in Australia is forecast to increase in marketing year (MY) 2024/25, after above-average rainfall impacted some regions during the harvest period for MY 2023/24, which impacted overall production and quality. Cherry production is forecast to rise by eight percent, while peaches and nectarines are forecast to increase by six percent.

Growers expect improved fruit quality if average or below-average rainfall continues into the harvest period. Consequently, cherry exports are forecast to increase by 25 percent, and peaches and nectarine exports by four percent.
