PEACHES (INCLUDING NECTARINES) ARE CONSUMED FRESH ACCOUNTING FOR ABOUT 70% OF THE PRODUCTION, MOST OF WHICH ARE THE WHITE FLESHED CULTIVARS. CONCERNING USE FOR CANNING, JUICE AND FROZEN FRUITS, THE YELLOW AND NON-MELTING FLESHED PEACHES ARE AVAILABLE BUT THE PRODUCTION IS ONLY 15.8% OF THE TOTAL PRODUCTION PROCESSED BY CANNING.
