USDA FAS - Argentina deciduous

Here is the link to a recent USDA FAS report on Argentina deciduous. Here is the summary below. Don't miss this 13 page report.

Argentina's CY 2009 total fresh deciduous fruit production is forecast at 1.845 million MT, up 45,000 MT from the previous year, due to higher yields. The total fresh deciduous fruit crop for CY 2008 is expected to decrease to 1.8 million MT, primarily due to frost damage in 2007 which affected apples and pears. Total exports in CY 2009 are estimated to decrease to 800,000 MT as a consequence of the international economic crisis which will affect world demand. Domestic consumption is expected to remain stable, and imports will continue to be negligible.
