Prognosfruit estimates an Italian apple crop of 2.15 million tons in 2022-23, up 5% from the previous season. Among the producer regions, a little ground has been lost by Trentino (-1%) and Alto Adige (-3%), while all the other regions are growing, especially Piedmont. But the emphasis this year is shifting towards organic, with a crop expected to reach 200,000 tons (+4%), equal to about 9% of the total supply.

According to the FAO, the global trade in bananas in 2021 was affected by several factors on both the supply and demand sides. If its estimates are accurate, the contraction involved will be among the largest annual drops in global banana shipments ever recorded. Anecdotal evidence suggests organic bananas continue to attract high demand throughout the year, however, as consumers in key import markets, notably in the European Union and United States, displayed a higher propensity to spend on organic produce.
