  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   IN2024-0052
India’s domestic apple production in marketing year (MY) 2024/2025 is forecast 6 percent higher at 2.55 million metric tons (MMT) due to favorable weather conditions in the apple growing regions. Post forecasts a 10 percent increase in MY 2024/2025 apple imports at 600 thousand metric tons due to the growing demand for higher quality apples. For MY 2024/2025, India’s pear production is forecast marginally higher at 313 thousand (MT), as the lack of integrated cold chain infrastructure limits growth in pear production. MY 2024/2025 grape production is anticipated to increase by four percent at 3.06 MMT owing to improved farming practices.
