Earlier Report Observations
The quince market in Brazil saw gradual growth from 530 t in 2018 to 584 t in 2020. Production increased modestly during this period, supported by a rise in imports to 38 t in 2019. The market remained highly concentrated in a few municipalities in Minas Gerais and Goiás, with most output destined for industrial processing into jams.
Market volume dropped sharply to 440 t in 2021 as production fell. This decline was primarily caused by phytosanitary issues, specifically the Entomosporium fungus, which significantly reduced planted area and yields in key growing regions like Minas Gerais.
A recovery began in 2022, with the market reaching 481 t in 2023. Efforts to revive the crop, including partnerships between Emater-MG and universities to distribute seedlings and provide technical support, helped restore production. The market structure remained focused on supplying the industrial processing sector.
