The Cafim predicts that Argentine canneries will only process 135,000 tons of peaches in the 2015/16 season, 15% lower than originally expected. At the 13th World Canning Conference, Robert Lamb, representative of Cafim, said that the total output of 24 X1 kg canned peaches was estimated to be 3.5 million boxes in 2015/16, while the output of canned pears dropped by 50-70%. Therefore, the purchase price of canned pears from the fruit farm is higher than that of canned peaches. Pears are priced at $250 - 350 per ton, while peaches are priced at $230 - 260 per ton. Overall, it is estimated that peach pulp production (30-32 degrees) in 2015/16 will decrease from 215,000 tons in 2014/15 to 15,000 tons, pear pulp 4,000 tons (less than half of the previous year), apricot pulp from 3,500 tons in the previous year to 1,500 tons. About 75% of total pulp production this year is for export. The price of raw materials for fruit pulp is 120 - 130 USD / ton for peaches and 60 - 70 USD / ton for pears.
