European kiwi production for this campaign should be down by approximately 14 %, because of a fall in the potential, primarily in Italy. Hence according to IKO estimates, a production of 714 000 t is expected (- 3 % on the 3-year average), bearing in mind that 2015-16 was a record season, especially in Italy. Italian production could actually return to its 2014 level (469 000 t, i.e. - 20 % from 2015), with a shortfall in all regions, particularly Lazio (- 30 %) and Calabria. Conversely, Greece, Spain, Portugal and France should enjoy a good harvest level, fairly close to last year.
