Notes
The Commission has approved a French
national scheme to provide Euro 74.5 million in aid over a four
year period for uprooting old trees and replanting fruit orchards
with new varieties. Farmers will be given:
Euro 5,335 for every hectare grubbed
Euro 8,384 per hectare of apple trees replanted
Euro 6,097 per hectare of peach/nectarines
trees replanted
Comment:
In South Africa, changing consumer tastes for apples saw a major
crisis in the deciduous fruit industry which now faces major problems
of restructuring. French farmers facing similar problems can now
receive extensive assistance to facilitate restructuring in line
with consumer preferences. This will give French farmers a competitive
edge over deciduous fruit producers in South Africa.
