Options becoming a necessity

After several years of doubts and questions, the pip fruits divide seems increasingly complete between the Southern Hemisphere sources and the traditional Northern Hemisphere markets, which have withdrawn into their shells. The 2014 campaign only confirmed this trend, intensified at the end of the year by the embargo on the Russian market. The development of shipments to emerging countries, which yesterday still seemed like a means of diversification for Southern Hemisphere exporters, today seems to be a genuine lifeline. These alternative markets helped maintain the apple and grape export potential, but will definitely not be sufficient to prop up pear production, especially since Argentina, the main producer country, has for several years faced a deteriorating internal situation.
