EU Market outlook 2011-2012 :stocks • Almost cleared for fresh apples EU 1st July (less than 200.000 T) – USA : same USA • AJC :no stocks , strong start but EU East : low crop EU West : good quality and good size for fresh market
EU Market outlook 2011-2012 : international trade ( import ) • EU Import : 551 Mln € ( value 2010 ) • SH exported more in total ( 1.7 Mln T ) • but moderate volume to Europe 1 2
Apples SHAFFE / WAPA pear production forecast Berlin February 2011 • Remarks: • Southern Hemisphere production is stable at 5.2 Mln T • Export planned to be up by 5% but export to Europe seems declining => market diversification
EU Market outlook 2011-2012 : international trade • EU Export : 558 Mln € ( value 2010 ) • Uncertainties : SPS , world economy , strenght of the € ….. • Russia : Safety certificates maintained for apples from BE, DE, EL ,FR, HU, IT, NL, PL • Market demand in North Africa : Algeria, Egypt ,… • SPS protocol negotiation
EU Market outlook 2011-2012 : domestic market Overall positive given moderate apples crop & perspective of 1 to 2 weeks more for marketing and good kick off condition (no stocks or SH overlap ) but : • Economic situation – affecting consumer confidence • EHEC crisis and image of fresh produce category • Stagnating apples consumption • Poor market conditions for several fresh produce across Europe (stonefruits , citrus , bananas …. ) • Heavy price competition and return to growers • More intra trade from West to East ( ?) – shortage in HU, CZ, RO, no bumper crop in PL -demand from AJC • Pear crop up- overall EU apple & pear +6%
EU Market outlook 2011-2012 : regulatory issue • Monitoring import licences • removed as of 1 September ( Com Regulation 669/2011) but • TAXUD and Eurostat data remaining available & SHAFFE monitoring is on-going • Morpholine (Regulation 1333/2008 ) • Not registered as additive in the EU => use is forbidden • On-going discussion for setting a cross contamination level ( at 0.3 ppm, ) • Status DPA • Being phased out unless new registration is requested ( Com Decision 2009/859 ) • MRL status unclear ( Com Regulation 149/2008) • Commission proposal to move to detection level but process of discussion and adoption is at least 9 months - consequences of persistant effect if detection level also for EU growers – non regulatory requirements to be taken into acount • Different MRL to be considered if new registration succeeds
Key points 2011-2012 Mixed parameters but hopefully a positive outlook for 2011/2012 : • Positive elements for the season: • “Moderate low” crop • Early start on a clean background • Good quality and size for fresh market • Demand for the AJC industry • Negative elements for the season: • Complex fruit and vegetables markets • Market price and return to grower • Uncertainties about Russian market • Economic uncertainties • Stagnating consumption • Prognosfruit 2012 : 3-4 August 2012 in Toulouse ( France ) with www.prognosfruit.eu
