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%.

Production from Río Negro and Neuquén accesses this market through a quarantine pest control plan.
