Georgia Peach Harvest and US Beef in Indonesia
From the Ag Information Network, I’m Bob Larson with your Agribusiness Update.
**The 2023 Georgia peach harvest is not looking good and could be the worst in years.
www.foodmanufacturing.com reports, some blame the mild winter and late spring frost for costing Georgia growers anywhere from 50% to 85% of their crop.
Growers say while the volume is likely to be down, the quality should be "fantastic and huge and sweet."
Unfortunately, consumers should also expect to pay quite a bit more.

The U.S. Meat Export Federation reports foot-and-mouth and lumpy skin disease have depleted Indonesia’s domestic beef production, and efforts to stabilize supplies with imports from Brazil and India have been unsuccessful.
Indonesia’s growing middle class is demanding higher quality beef cuts, such as those produced in the U.S.
