Jul. 6, 2021Duraznos/China: producción continúa creciendo y aumentará 7% para año comercial 2021/22
China’s peach and nectarine production is estimated at 16 million metric tons (MMT) in marketing year (MY) 2021/22 (January-December), an increase of nearly 7 percent from the previous year. The production gains are due to normal returns from fruit bearing trees. In MY2020/21, China’s peach and nectarine production was hurt by heavy snows which caused fruit losses across most peach growing areas in China.
This year cold winter weather in early 2021 killed some young trees in China’s northern producing provinces, such as Shandong. However, the total production of peaches and nectarines in MY2021/22 is expected to be generally unaffected. Post has revised the production number up in MY2019/20 and up in MY2020/21 based on industry reports.
The planted area for peaches and nectarines is slowly decreasing given weak market returns. MY2021/22 peach and nectarine acreage is estimated at 850,000 hectares, slightly down from the previous year. Chinese farmers plant many local peach and nectarine varieties. Nearly, 70 percent of all local peaches planted are white-flesh peaches.
