Pome fruit culture in Galicia: productivity structure, market and production costs.

In the past the Cornisa Cantabrica played an important role in Spanish fruit growing. However, pome fruit production in Galicia, especially for dessert, is in regression. Lack of quality, mainly through poor postharvest systems, has produced serious marketing difficulties, aggravated by dispersal and lack of organization of growers. This is linked to low productivity. Since production in Galicia accounts for only 10% of consumption, pome fruit culture could be an alternative to livestock. This paper identifies possible production limitations to pome fruit production and exigencies of the fruit market in Galicia.
