A recent report from the US Department of Agriculture, USDA, estimates that for the 2024-25 season, fresh apple production in Argentina will increase to 488,000 tons. This figure reflects a slight increase compared to the previous campaign, and is attributed to favorable agro-meteorological conditions, which would translate into better yields. The main apple varieties cultivated are Red Delicious, Granny Smith and Gala. Together, these three varieties represent almost 90% of the country's apple production. As for pears, for the 2024-225 campaign, a production of 655,000 tons is expected, also favored by good agro-meteorological conditions. The Williams variety continues to dominate, representing 40% of the cultivated area and pear exports. It is closely followed by the Packham, which represents a third of the market share, while the D'Anjou has a share of 15%.

The Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of the Ministry of Economy announced this Monday the opening of the Ecuadorian market for the export of lemons, sweet citrus fruits - including oranges, mandarins and grapefruit - and bone-in beef of Argentine origin.  This new advance in bilateral trade was consolidated after a series of meetings between representatives of the National Service of Agri-Food Health and Quality (SENASA) of Argentina and the Agency for Phyto and Zoosanitary Regulation and Control (Agrocalidad) of Ecuador, in Buenos Aires.  The agreement includes the definition of the work plans and the sanitary certificate necessary for the export of Argentine meat, which were ratified in a meeting between Pablo Cortese, president of SENASA, and Patricio Almeida, executive director of Agrocalidad. These documents establish the requirements to ensure the quality and sanitary safety of the products that will be exported to Ecuador.
