China: Stone Fruit Annual
Link to report:
China’s peach and nectarine production is forecast to fall 3 percent year-on-year to 17 MMT in MY 2025/26, driven by drought in the northwest and a spring cold snap in the north. Cherry production is anticipated to rise 6 percent to 900,000 MT on acreage expansion and improved management. Fruit consumption remains subdued due to economic challenges. Cherry imports from Chile are expected to remain strong owing to competitive prices and increased supplies, while U.S. cherry exports will likely decline further due to retaliatory tariffs imposed by the Chinese government.
