Canada: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual
In 2015, the Canadian apple and pear sectors were negatively impacted by various weather conditions resulting in significant declines in production volumes, particularly for apples. Post forecasts a 20 percent increase in apple imports and 2 percent increase in pear imports, with the U.S. share at 80 percent of the total import volume for apples, and at over 50 percent of pear imports. Demand for fresh table grapes remains constant and the market continues to be supplied almost exclusively via imports, over half of which having U.S. origin.
