Global Fruits Market Weekly Summary

• The grape pomace market is forecast to reach a value of USD 2.1 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual rate of 6.7%. The wine industry's increasing adoption of circular economy practices is the primary driver, with pomace being converted into antioxidants, natural colorants, and functional food ingredients across food, dietary supplement, and nutraceutical sectors. Advances in solvent and enzymatic extraction are improving yields and cost efficiency, while emerging research into gut health benefits is broadening applications further. Expansion into biodegradable materials and bioenergy represents an additional diversification pathway for wine producers.
• Commercial passion fruit cultivation has taken root in Maheshpur Upazila, with approximately 35 growers now active across 3.5 bighas of land. Market prices range from 15 to 80 taka per fruit, offering meaningful revenue potential. While the venture remains small in scale, early success has generated considerable local interest and signals a nascent but promising new agricultural sector for the region.
• Moldova's sour cherry sector reached a significant milestone in 2025, with exports overtaking domestic consumption for the first time. Despite adverse weather reducing total yields to 8,700 tons, export volumes reached 4,700 tons, with Poland a key premium market destination. Rising global prices have supported farmer earnings, though irrigation constraints remain a structural risk to the industry's long-term production viability.
• Southeast Queensland's pineapple market is experiencing supply disruption caused by premature natural flowering linked to environmental stress. The impact is largely localized, with Central and North Queensland partially offsetting the shortfall. Retail price instability and inventory management challenges are expected to persist over the next two years as recovery efforts continue.
• Northern Australia's mango sector is recovering from severe riverine flooding. Core infrastructure, including deep-rooted mango trees, has largely been preserved, and the season's significant water recharge supports future water security. Pest and disease management will require close attention as conditions normalize. In Taiwan, favorable rainfall has eased water scarcity concerns and supported early fruit development. In contrast, erratic weather across India's Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka has led to notable production declines, likely tightening supply chains and raising procurement costs, particularly for Totapuri mango varieties used in processing. Mexico's mango export market remains strong, with North America accounting for nearly 90% of export volumes. Proximity to the U.S. and Canadian markets enables swift delivery of fresher produce, underpinning the sector's economic importance to Mexican farming families.
