China: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual
Link to report:
China’s apple and pear production is forecast at 40.5 MMT and 16 MMT, respectively, in MY 2020/21, due largely to frost damage during flowering. Grape production is expected to increase to 11 MMT in MY 2020/21 due to continued enhancements in crop management techniques. At the same time, the outbreak of COVID-19 led to an economic slowdown and reduced fruit purchases by consumers. For these reasons, deciduous fruit imports will likely decline in MY 2020/21 amid reduced demand.
