**Report Highlights:**

Australian production of canned peaches and canned pears are forecast to
increase to 51,000 MT and 53,000 MT respectively in 2006, and exports
are expected to increase in line with production. Improved climatic
conditions and irrigation water supplies in the lead up to the 2006
season are responsible for the improved outlook. Official trade
statistics show imports of canned fruit increased sharply in the first
half of 2005.
