Earlier Report Observations

The fresh peaches and nectarines market in Portugal showed stability in 2018-2019, with volumes hovering around 94,000 t. This period saw the enforcement of marketing and labeling standards that mandated clear origin labeling and set quality requirements for fruit sold to consumers, establishing a structured regulatory framework for the sector.

From 2020 to 2022, the market volume contracted by over 30%, falling to a low of 62,617 t in 2022. This sharp decline was principally driven by adverse climatic conditions, including drought and late frosts, which severely damaged orchard yields. Concurrently, rising production costs for energy, water, and packaging squeezed producers, reducing domestic output and contributing to higher consumer prices.

In 2023, the market recovered to 74,704 t. This rebound was supported by investments from local growers in sustainable cultivation practices and improved fruit varieties, aligning with agricultural policies coordinated by the Ministry of Agriculture that emphasized production quality and long-term sustainability.
