The production of apples, pears and table grapes is forecast to improve in MY 2024/25 from MY 2023/24 based on the cold, wet winter of 2024 and new trees coming into production. With improved fruit quality, deciduous fruit exports are forecast to increase in spite of continued equipment shortages and breakdowns at the Port of Cape Town. South Africa imports little deciduous fruit due to sufficient domestic production. The United States does not have market access in South Africa for pears and table grapes, and has market access only for apples from areas free from Rhagoletis pomonella.
