European 2012 crop forecast EU-27 (EU-27 population = 501.1 mln) EU Production (20 States) set to be at 9.705.000 T + ca 100.000 T in non- participating States countries (7) 2012 production (ranked 8 th in decade overview ) – decade av = 10.5 Mln T Forecast = optimistic view? Early spring followed by several frosts Wet spring Drought in several regions Heavy summer hails storms Normal harvest date Balanced fluctuations still possible ( up Poland down elswhere )

PEAR FORECAST 2012: STATES/REGIONAL REVIEW EUROPE AT LARGE
30
ITALY Italy : – Production record low – Large physiological drop – Abate, one of the most significant reduction (-55% ) – Some impact of the earthquake
31
South East Greece – Increase of the production to 43.000 T due to good climatic conditions prevailing from spring to June – No major concerns with psylla, which however is not the main cause for the lower crop – Size to be on average – Season to start one week earlier than last year – Krystalli pear represent 40 % of production Romania – 26.000 T, down 8% from 2011 – No late frost but soil drought in June and July – 13 % of production for processing – Normal sizing – No evolution of orchard
32
Spain – Production at 329.000 T (=new historic low) – All regions are decreasing except Murcia - Catalonia remains leader - affected by hail in July – On-going decline of Blanquilla (now 52.000 T compared to 200.000 T 10 years ago) – Conference larger variety at 136.000 T – Ercolini is the only “stable” variety Portugal – Data are those of Pera Rocha Association – set at 109.000 T a decline by 48% to last year – Low temperature during fruit set, low number of fruits per tree. Physiological drop normal – Medium size South West
33
Benelux Belgium – Pear crop at 254.000 T. Complex climatic conditions in spring and summer – Conference is halted in its on-going development at 237.000 T – Some increase of pear orchard : + 3% ( more on conference representing 7.351 HA out of 8.579 HA) –Durondeau is decreasing by 5% – Picking normal, 2 weeks later than 2011 The Netherlands – Together with 2008, one of the lowest crop ever at 198.000 T : down by 41% – Conference is set this year at 165.000 T down from peak 260.000 T, while Doyenne the second variety is most affected with a decline of production by 55% T – Differences in size, weak settings
34
UK and France France – Production at 123.000 T down by 30% – Williams and Guyot (both at 35.000 T) to be the two main varieties followed by Conference (19.000 T) – All affected by drop, respectively by 34%, 29% and 24% UK – Volume at 28.000 T, 12% down from last year and 3 year average – Season time is 3 week later – Concern about russet – Difference in size ; No homogeneity – Larger % of crop expected to go to processing (32%)
35
Qualitative remarks EU-27: Central and East Poland – While recovering from last year peak low, production remain moderate at 55.000 T – Orchard dominated by Conference (35.000 T) Germany – Low crop similar to small level of 2010 and 2008: Production forecasted at 38.000 T – Conference (9.000 T) and William BC (4.000 T) to be the main varieties Hungary – As with apples, slight recovery at 26.000 T, lower % going to industry (32%) but in total higher volume (8.100 T) – Main variety is Bosc (8.500 T), followed by Williams (4.700 T)

Summer pears up 3% at 6.600 T Smaller size due to cold wet spring – good colour.
