ORGANISATION OF INTEGRATED FRUIT PRODUCTION IN SWITZERLAND

The following were areas of fruit cultivation in Switzerland last year: apples were grown on close to 5,000 hectares, pears on nearly 900, cherries on 450, prunes on around 200, apricots on approximately 500 and peaches on well-nigh 20 hectares.
The exact figures are given in table 1.

Table 1 – Fruit acreage

Crop	Ha
Apples	4918
Pears	897
Cherries	452
Prunes	191
Apricots	510
Peaches	19

Due to frost damage the 1991 apple harvest totalled only approximately 95,000 tons.
This year more than 191000 tons are expected.
