In 2022, the global export market for fresh peaches, including nectarines, achieved a total value of US$2.4 billion.

Unless otherwise specified in this article, peaches refer to both peaches and nectarines.

Exports of fresh peaches have grown by an average of 7.2% since 2018, when export sales for peaches were valued at $2.23 billion. However, year over year, the overall value of peaches exported worldwide decreased by -7.2%, down from $2.58 billion in 2021.

Peaches and nectarines belong to the same species of juicy fruits, though they are sold commercially as different products. One difference is that peach skin is fuzzy, while nectarines typically have smooth skin.
