Plums Pricing, Demand and Supply Overview
Plums prices in the United States, the highest-cost reporting region during the current quarter, eased 19.2% in Q2 2026 to USD 2,100.00/MT from USD 2,600.00/MT in Q1, as domestic harvest volumes increased seasonally and eased the tight off-season conditions that had characterized the winter months. Chilean prices, by contrast, rose 18.2% to USD 1,950.00/MT as the Southern Hemisphere counter-season harvest wound down and Northern Hemisphere demand shifted back toward domestic supply. Globally, the average fell from USD 2,083.00/MT in Q1 to USD 1,904.00/MT in Q2, an 8.6% decline, reflecting the pronounced seasonal pattern that characterizes this market. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 1,600.00-2,400.00/MT is expected, with seasonal harvest cycles across both hemispheres likely to continue driving substantial quarter-to-quarter swings.
Plums are a stone fruit cultivated across temperate growing regions worldwide, consumed fresh and processed into dried prunes, juices, and preserves. Global supply follows a distinctly counter-seasonal pattern between Northern Hemisphere producers, including the United States, Germany, and China, which harvest primarily from mid-summer through early autumn, and Southern Hemisphere producers led by Chile, which harvest during the Northern Hemisphere winter months and supply that market during its off-season. This counter-seasonal trade relationship means global average pricing reflects a constantly shifting mix of in-season, lower-cost domestic supply and off-season, higher-cost imported supply across different regions throughout the year. Seasonal harvest timing and weather conditions, counter-seasonal Southern Hemisphere import supply, and fresh and processed demand cycles are what drive prices in this market.
Plums Price Forecast for 2026
The outlook for Plums through H2 2026 points to continued pronounced seasonal swings as this market moves through its established counter-seasonal trade pattern. Northern Hemisphere harvest volumes should continue increasing through the summer months, easing pricing in the United States, Germany, and China, while Chilean export volumes are expected to build again ahead of the next Southern Hemisphere harvest cycle later in the year.
The main upside risk is a weather-related disruption to Northern Hemisphere summer harvests, which could tighten supply and push prices higher than currently forecast during what is typically the lower-priced season. The main downside risk is a larger-than-expected harvest across major producing regions combined with softer fresh and processed demand, which could extend seasonal price softness further than currently expected.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 1,600.00 - 2,400.00 | Seasonal harvest cycles drive substantial quarter-to-quarter swings |
| United States | 1,650.00 - 2,700.00 | Widest seasonal swing of any region tracked here |
| Germany | 1,650.00 - 2,350.00 | European harvest timing drives continued seasonal swings |
| Chile | 1,600.00 - 2,350.00 | Counter-seasonal export supply moves opposite Northern Hemisphere markets |
| China | 1,300.00 - 1,750.00 | Large domestic production keeps this the most affordable market |
