Australia Expects Large Plum CropWASHINGTON - Mar 15/05 - SNS -- Australian plum (including fresh prunes) production for 2006 is forecast at 37,000 MT, up 5% from the previous year, according to a recent report from the U.S. agricultural attache for the country. "This increase assumes normal weather conditions and is driven by rising area and improvements in productivity, such as yield and post harvest handling," the agricultural attache said. "Plum production in 2005 is forecast at 35,000 MT, up nearly 17% from the previous year's drought impacted harvest. The increase is primarily attributed to a return to more seasonal conditions and significant improvements in irrigation water supplies."
