Netherlands: Dutch Apple and Pear Orchards Poised for a Fruitful Season
The Netherlands expects a strong apple and pear harvest in 2025, following a season of favorable growing conditions. Apple production is projected to reach 226,000 metric tons (up 17 percent from last year), led by Elstar, Jonagold, and Kanzi varieties. Pear production is set to rebound to 348,000 metric tons, with the Conference pear making up three-quarters of the total. Unlike the weather-related setbacks of 2024, this season has supported both yield and quality, giving growers reason for cautious optimism despite ongoing challenges such as rising costs and plant health regulations. The new harvest will begin reaching the market by late August.
