Production falling but maintaining a good level

Open/Close Shop

2018-19 was a record season in terms of production. Despite a 14 % fall, the 2019-20 harvest is maintaining a very good level (4 % above average) with an expected 1.1 million tonnes. The big rise in surface areas registered in recent seasons is helping mitigate the alternate bearing phenomenon (4 million trees planted between 2011 and 2018, 80 % as part of expansions). The supply level will continue to decline. It will remain high in the first part of the season (good Primofiore production in the early-season segment), and then ebb with a more moderate supply of this same variety during the second part of the season, before dropping into a significant shortfall for the end-of-season cultivar Verna (6 % below average).
