China/Duraznos y nectarines: producción año comercial 2024/25 alcanzará 17.600.000 toneladas
Post estimates China’s peach and nectarine production at 17.6 million metric tons (MMT) in marketing year (MY) 2024/25 (January-December), slightly up from the previous year. Serious heat and drought have been affecting parts of northern China, including major peach/nectarine producing provinces, such as Shandong and Henan, since May. This weather pattern will likely lower peach/nectarine production as insufficient water will have a negative impact on fruit development, according to fruit farmers in Shandong where peach/nectarine harvest just began in early June.
However, the anticipated reduction in certain parts of northern China will be offset by good harvests in other peach/nectarine producing areas that have not reported weather abnormalities. Peaches and nectarines are planted in northwestern provinces (e.g., Shaanxi and Shanxi) and southern China (e.g., Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Anhui). Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang produce smaller quantities but high value honey peaches.
