Earlier Report Observations

The market for peaches and nectarines in South Africa showed notable fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. After reaching 1.04 million tons in 2019, consumption contracted to 968 thousand tons in 2020 before recovering to 1.07 million tons in 2022. The following year saw another decline, with the market volume settling at 989 thousand tons in 2023.

In value terms, the market mirrored this volatile pattern, climbing to 2.14 billion USD in 2022 before dropping to 1.82 billion USD in 2023. The physical market volume's peak in 2022 coincided with a production high of 1.10 million tons, while the subsequent downturn in 2023 aligned with a reduction in output.

By 2024, industry dynamics were influenced by several key developments. The South African deciduous fruit sector gained crucial access to the Chinese market for peaches and nectarines, creating new export opportunities. However, the season was affected by extreme weather, including a long, cold spring and logistical disruptions at the Port of Cape Town, which impacted fruit set and supply chains.
