  26. Conclusion for Belgium • Acreage apple decreases (200 ha/year) • Jonagold and Jonagored remain the most important varieties ( > 60 %) • Small interest in new varieties (only Kanzi and Belgica) • Prices become better  new interest • Acreage pear increases (200 ha/year) • Only Conference (93 % in new orchards) • Increase will slow down

  27. Conclusion for The Netherlands • Acreage apple decreases (200 ha/year) • Elstar remains the most important variety • Strong decrease for Jonagold/Jonagored • Interest in new varieties (especially Kanzi and Junami) • Prices become better • Acreage pear increases (200 ha/year) • Mostly Conference • Interest in Sweet Sensation ?
