Mexico: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual
Apple production in Mexico for MY 2013/14 (August/July) is forecast at 605,000 metric tons (MT), a record crop due to better weather. Total pear imports are forecast to increase 11% for MY 2013/14 (July/June). Total Mexican table grape production for MY 2013/14 (May/April) is forecast lower at 261,000 MT, due to a cooler winter and spring in Sonora. Grape exports are expected to decline due to a delay in the start of harvest. The United States remains the major supplier of deciduous fruits to Mexico.
