What affects Nectarines prices
US nectarine prices are mainly determined by California orchard output, fruit quality, demand for fresh stone fruit, and postharvest handling conditions. California accounts for nearly all US commercial nectarine production, so statewide chill accumulation, bloom weather, water availability, heat, and harvest conditions are central fundamentals. Frost or rain during bloom can reduce set, while heat, wind, pests, and disease can affect size, appearance, and packout. Nectarines are perishable, making careful cooling, packing, labor, transportation, and orchard-input costs important, and imported fruit broadens supply outside the California season.
California nectarines normally arrive in late spring, with the domestic marketing season extending through summer and into early fall as varieties mature. The broadest domestic availability is typically in summer, when harvest activity is most extensive. Fresh nectarines can be held and shipped for a limited period under refrigeration, but they are not a long-storage crop. Chilean and other Southern Hemisphere imports commonly supply US markets during the winter and early spring, before the next California harvest.
