Earlier Report Observations

The fresh plums and sloes market in Oceania experienced strong growth from 2018 to 2021, with production increasing from 26 240 t to 34 642 t and market volume rising from 21 569 t to 27 772 t. This expansion was driven by earlier investments in the sector, notably Cutri Fruit's 2017 initiative to expand operations and plant exclusive high-sugar plum varieties, which boosted planting areas and enhanced product diversity for the domestic and export markets.

After peaking in 2021, both production and market volume declined over the next two years. By 2023, production had fallen to 25 317 t and market volume to 20 580 t, returning to levels below the 2018 starting point. The contraction marked a significant reversal of the previous growth trend.
