Author: S. Sansavini

Abstract:
In assessing stone fruit growing
trends in Europe, it is necessary to
distinguish between acreage and production.
According to the official 1977-
1982 EEC survey, the combined acreage of peach, apricot, plum and prunes
for the 12-member Community exceeds 310,000 hectares.
This figure
excludes cherries, for which no data
were available in that period.
Up to
1982 there was a decrease in total area
amounting to 7,000 hectares, although
there were marked differences from
country to country (Table 1). In the
four-years since 1982, that trend has
reversed itself, with acreage, especial
ly peach, increasing by more than 20
thousand hectares.
