China: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual

China’s apple and pear production is estimated to decrease, primarily due to adverse weather conditions. Table grape production is estimated to rise, resulting from improved orchard management practices. Apple imports are expected to maintain an upward trend due to demand for diverse varieties. However, imports of grapes and pears are projected to decline due to improvement in the supply and quality of domestic counterparts. The market share for U.S. fruit continues to fall, facing challenges from escalated tariffs and significant domestic competition.
