Rain dampens record crop predictions
Cherry Growers Australia president Tom Eastlake says pre-harvest predictions of a record national crop have been curtailed by large amounts of unseasonal rain across growing areas, but this year’s crop is still expected to be bigger than last year’s, which was two-thirds down on the previous year. “We are unsure as to whether we will see a record, but we expect significant volumes of cherries to satisfy demand,” he told The Weekly Times. “Saying that, we have seen prices steady and firm since the recent weather events and we expect that to continue.”
