NZ apple-planted area in MY 2023/2024 forecast to drop substantially
New Zealand apple-planted area in the 2023/2024 market year is forecast to drop substantially from 11,000 ha to 9,200 ha. This development results from the impacts of cyclone Gabrielle, which caused large scale floodwaters, silt, debris, wind, and surface flooding in the primary apple growing regions of Hawkes Bay and Gisborne. FAS/Wellington is forecasting apple production in the 2023/2024
