Earlier Report Observations

The Italian market for peaches and nectarines reached 1 169 thousand tonnes in 2019, following a period of increased competition from Spanish imports which grew significantly after the Russian embargo. Market volume then contracted over the next two years, falling to 1 005 thousand tonnes by 2021.

A recovery to 1 074 thousand tonnes occurred in 2022, supported by alliances between agricultural cooperatives like Agrisanterno and Apo Conerpo that focused on innovation and product quality. In 2023, the market edged down slightly to 1 062 thousand tonnes as domestic production dropped by 10%, prompting higher imports, while a promotional campaign for the Pesca e Nettarina di Romagna IGP aimed to enhance the product's value.
