Abstract
Peaches and nectarines are popular fruits worldwide, and China is notable for being the largest producer. China’s production will reach 16.8 Mt in 2022, far ahead of other countries. Proper climate and soil conditions are important for peach and nectarine production, and China’s vast farmland supports this. Fruit cultivation has also been popular in China since ancient times, and its technology and experience also support its large productivity. On the other hand, other major producers include Spain, Italy, and the United States. These countries also take advantage of their excellent agricultural technology and abundant farmland to produce high-quality peaches and nectarines. As global demand increases, these major producers continue to compete and strive to improve quality and efficiency in order to establish their position in the market. In addition, interest in sustainable agriculture and organic farming has increased in recent years, and production is progressing while responding to these trends.
Peach and nectarine production (worldwide)
Peach and nectarine production has been steadily increasing over the past few decades. Of particular note is China’s rapid expansion of production during this period, reaching an all-time high of 16.8 Mt in 2022. This increase is likely due to China’s economic growth, advances in agricultural technology, and increasing demand. At the peak of China’s production, it reached 100% compared to past production. Meanwhile, other major producing countries are also actively producing, including Spain, Italy, and the United States. These countries continue to compete to meet demand while working to improve quality and efficiency. In addition, with increasing attention to the environment and sustainability, efforts to organically grow and reduce pesticides are also increasing. It is expected that countries around the world will continue to promote peach and nectarine production, taking into account the growing demand and the impact on the environment.

Peach and nectarine production by country (latest year)
Peach and nectarine production accounts for an important part of global agriculture. According to the latest data for 2022, China boasts an overwhelming production volume, reaching 16.8 Mt. This figure is equivalent to about 63.6% of the total global production. Meanwhile, the average production volume of other countries is 293 kt, which is not that high compared to China’s production. Other than China, Spain, Italy, and the United States are major producers, but it will still be difficult to catch up with China. The total production volume of peaches and nectarines is 26.4 Mt, which is enough to meet global demand. The trend so far has been that China’s production volume is particularly noticeable, and its overwhelming production power is affecting the global market. Factors such as increasing demand and climate change must also be taken into consideration. It is expected that production will continue to be centered on China in the future, and other major producing countries will continue to compete.

Peach and nectarine production (continental)
In 2022, Asia was the largest producer of peaches and nectarines overall, reaching 19.8 Mt. This figure is the highest ever, indicating that Asia is becoming an increasingly important production base. The background to this trend is the improvement of agricultural productivity and increasing demand in Asian countries, including China. China in particular is the world’s largest producer of peaches and nectarines, and its influence has a significant impact on the global market. Meanwhile, production is also increasing in other regions, and major production regions such as Europe and North America are also maintaining their competitiveness. As demand grows, investments are being made in quality and breeding to provide products that meet consumer preferences. In addition, sustainable agriculture and environmental protection efforts are also attracting attention, and producers are looking for ways to minimize the burden on the planet while maintaining productivity. Overall, peach and nectarine production continues to be influenced by global trends, but efforts are continuing to meet increasing demand.
The maximum is the latest one, 13.4Mt of Asia
