Rain and warm weather affected the 2022 apple harvest

By John T. Ryan

Peru’s apple orchards enjoyed one of the best crops in years in 2022. It may even have been the best year ever. However, in early September, rain followed by unseasonably warm temperatures resulted in apples maturing much more quickly than usual. As a result, orchardists had to send the workforce to the apple varieties most in demand, then to other varieties. An extremely high number of “drops” resulted. These apples are being exported to Canada for use as apple juice.

It’s essential to pick up drops. Apples on the ground attract mice and larger animals and can encourage disease. As one orchardist said, “The best thing about picking them up is that I don’t have to look at them anymore!” Even with the drops, it’s been an excellent harvest year.
