Nov. 10, 2023China/Manzanas: producción alcanzará las 45 millones de toneladas
Post estimates China’s apple production at 45 million metric tons (MMT) in marketing year (MY) 2023/24 (July-June), an increase of 1 percent from the revised Post estimate for MY 2022/23. Although low temperatures and hail occurred in part of Shaanxi province, the country’s top producing province, in late April, industry sources estimate that overall apple production will remain unchanged from the previous year.
Fruit farmers in Shandong, the second largest producing province, told post that provincial apple production may decline from last year because of spring frosts during fruit pollination and high temperatures in June-July during fruit enlargement.
On April 28, a severe frost hit major apple producing regions in Gansu, the third largest producing province, seriously affecting the fruit setting. As a result, apple production will likely drop by 30 percent in the province, according to industry estimates. Other major producing regions, such as Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, and Liaoning, are expecting a good harvest under relatively normal growing conditions.
