Key judgment

Item IdentityStone fruit of Rosaceae Prunus persica
Key roleFresh fruit · Gifts · School meals · Dining out · Desserts · Fresh-cut · Puree · Juice · Jam · Freeze · Dried
Harvesting principleEvaluate variety, ripeness, flesh firmness, skin color, sugar and acidity, aroma, distribution distance, and Buyer Spec together
Product separationFuzzy peach · Nectarine · White flesh · Yellow flesh · Fresh fruit · For processing · Fresh-cut · Purée · Juice · Frozen · Dry
Separation of similar itemsPlums, cherries, and apricots belong to separate Species, while nectarines belong to the Product Group within P. persica.
Domestic statisticsThe KOSIS 2025 Fruit Production Statistics includes items for peach area, yield per 10a, and yield.
Production RiskFrost damage, low temperatures during flowering, drought, monsoon, torrential rain, poor moisture, pests and diseases, fruit drop
Quality RiskFruit size, sugar content, acidity, hardness, coloration, suture line, wound, bruise, cracking, decay
Distribution riskFlesh softening, crushing, spoilage, delayed pre-cooling, and differences in short/long-distance shipment specifications
Processing riskPeeling, seed removal yield, browning, flesh softening, puree yield, tissue changes after freezing
Operating PrinciplesOrchard–Variety–Maturity–Harvest Lot–Pre-cooling–Grade–Processing–Buyer RFQ
Final goalSupply capacity is assessed based on marketable fresh fruit, Premium Grade, convertible volume, and Buyer-approved volume, rather than total production volume.

To publicly link the utilization of peach seeds, kernels, and components as ingredients for food, functional medicine, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, safety verification—including toxicity and legality as food ingredients—must be conducted beforehand. Since Kew also records non-food uses in the utilization information of P. persica, MarketHub separates the safety grades of fresh fruit from those of seeds and kernel byproducts.
