Brazil: Stonefruit Production and Trade in Brazil

Brazil's stone fruit sector focuses primarily on peach production, with smaller plum and limited nectarine production. The 2025/26 season faced significant weather challenges, as late frosts and excessive rainfall in southern producing regions reduced yields. With modest export volumes, most stone fruit production is consumed domestically. The sector confronts volatile weather conditions, high production costs, and competition from imports, but benefits from government support programs and ongoing investments in orchard modernization.
