South Korea: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual
Korean fresh pear production is expected to decrease 20 percent in Marketing Year (MY) 2023/24 as adverse weather events struck orchards throughout spring flowering and into the summer. Supplies of high-quality pears are expected to be below average because of high rates of damaged fruit. Prices for pears are expected to be higher in MY 23/24, but increases will not be as dramatic as for other fresh fruits. With changing consumption patterns, aging farm population, and increasing threats from climate change, the Korean pear sector is expected to continue facing a downward trend in acreage and production.
