UNITED STATES & ARGENTINA - Demand is reportedly fairly good as imported pears from Argentina make their way to the U.S. market, recent industry reports show.

In its National FOB Review for June 24, 2025, the United States Department of Agriculture reported the following for Argentina imports entering through Philadelphia: MARKET 70 AND 80 SIZE SLIGHTLY LOWER, OTHERS ABOUT STEADY. Bartlett 18 kg containers wrapped 70 size 30.00-36.00 mostly 32.00-34.00 80 size 30.00-36.00 mostly 32.00-34.00 90 size 26.00-30.00 mostly 28.00-30.00

The domestic pear market also remains stable, with conditions expected to be steady through the arrival of California’s new Bartlett crop in mid-July. The 2025 Northwest crop is also looking strong from a supply and quality standpoint, growers report, and August will bring new crop Bartlett and Starkrimson from the region to kick off fall pear promotions.
