Australia: producción de duraznos y nectarines se incrementará 13%
MY 2023/24 production of peaches and nectarines is forecast to rise to 90,000 MT, an increase of 10,000 MT (13 percent) from the downward revised MY 2022/23 estimate of 90,000 MT. Growing conditions for the forecast crop at this early stage are expected to be positive. The key factors being adequate cold chill hours, drier than average conditions in the coming months coupled with ample irrigation water availability, and a further easing of labor harvest shortages that were experienced in recent years initially brought on by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The forecast rise in production is also associated with a rebound from the lower than usual harvest in MY 2022/23 due to unseasonal wet conditions around harvest in Victoria and New South Wales. Industry reports that the cold chill to date has met the minimum levels and expect a good bud burst for the forecast crop, setting the trees up for good production.
