Spain remains the largest peach and nectarine exporter worldwide, with a share of 34% in terms of the global volume. In 2020, the harvest was damaged by frosts, which led to a reduction of supplies. Export prices thus ramped up and are to remain high until yields stabilize. Despite this, Spain's position on the key foreign markets in Germany and France remained secure. The year 2021 remains uneven in terms of future yield, which strengthens the risk that buyers will seek cheaper alternatives.
