Greece
Tuesday 26 June 2007
Finally a product with some good news: situation is upbeat for new pack peaches. In Greece, the crop started earlier than usual and packers are expecting one of the best crops in the past 5 years, with yields hitting 500.000 mtons. Experts forecast that the Chinese canned peach production will rise by 15% compared to the last season. California is expecting its crop about 13 days earlier than last year but unfortunately North Carolina, Alabama and Georgia experienced a late freeze which will significantly hurt their new season.
