In comparison, 2023 stood at a similar level to early forecasts (assumed baseline). The year-on-year variation reveals minimal change between these periods, implying stability in the sector. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate indicates a steady, albeit modest, increase.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential impacts of climate change on apple yield and quality.
- Economic shifts influencing apple pricing and export potential.
- Technological advancements in agriculture that could boost productivity.
