Canned peach production is forecast at 400,000 metric tons (MT) in marketing year (MY) 2011/12 (June-May), up eight percent from the previous year.  The increase is largely due to an increase in the availability of fruit for canning, as a spring drought resulted in smaller fruit size, and growing domestic demand for canned peaches.  Export prices are expected to skyrocket jumping by 30 to 50 percent during MY 2011/12, largely due to rising labor cost, higher production costs, and the nearly five...
