As a result, a drop in yield is expected, compared to the previous campaign, in particular: • 15% on apple; • 30% on pears; • 10% on wine and table grapes. In stone fruits, production is estimated to be: • 25% lower on peaches; • close to that reached in 2021 for almonds, as a result of new plantations coming into production.
