Fruit harvest in the South increased by 10% compared to last year's level This year, the apple harvest in the commercial sector may be at the level of 2023, when, according to official statistics, 1.7 million tons of apples were harvested, said Igor Mukhanin, President of the Russian Gardeners Association. "According to our data, the harvest will remain approximately at last year's level," the expert noted. According to him, the harvest in the South increased by 10% compared to last year's level. "There is a good harvest in Crimea now, for example. Therefore, there will be no shortage of apples," Mukhanin emphasized. At the same time, he clarified that 1.7 million tons is the official data, and the unofficial figures are slightly higher - last year they exceeded 2 million tons. “The Ministry of Agriculture counts those apples that are sold at retail and sold for technical processing.

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.
