Ukraine: pear production significantly up over past 5 years

Ukrainian pear production has grown by almost 20% over the past 5 years, according to the official statistics. Moreover, the production volumes have risen by 5% over the past year.

In 2014 Ukrainian pear production (excluding Crimea) totaled 157,000 tons against 150,100 tons in 2013 and only 133,000 tons 5 years ago.

The market analysts connect an increase in production with higher average yields in Ukrainian pear orchards. They have grown from 10.5 tons per ha in 2010 to 12.3 tons per ha in 2013.
