The European harvest forecasts were unveiled at the recent EuroMéditerranée trade fair (Medfel), held in Perpignan from 21 to 23 April. They indicated that the campaign does not really have a head start, although the Seville zone started early. The calendar actually seems to be slightly behind last year, which was an early one, by a week or even ten days. Peach and nectarine production (including flat varieties) seems to be stabilising overall, and should reach nearly 3 million tonnes (+ 1 % on 2014 and + 5 % on the 2009-2013 average). Apricot production is set to be slightly in shortfall (- 4 % on 2014 and - 4 % on the 2009-2013 average), and could reach 510 000 t at most due to poor climate conditions which have affected several production centres.
