The French kiwifruit harvest is estimated to fall nine per cent to 70,000 tonnes in 2001/02, as a result of poor weather. Of this, 26,000t, the equivalent of 37 per cent, is to be exported, compared with 29,734t and 28,337t for the previous two years. Just over a third is destined for Spain, the largest market overall, followed by Germany and Belgium (Source: FAS).
