What HS 2008.70 covers
This category encompasses prepared or preserved peaches and nectarines, distinct from fresh fruit or fruit spreads. It includes products like canned peach halves, sliced peaches in syrup, or diced peaches used in various culinary applications. The global trade in preserved peaches is substantial, ensuring a consistent supply for desserts, yogurts, and as a standalone snack, independent of seasonal fresh harvests. Countries with large peach cultivation and advanced food processing capabilities, such as China, Greece, and the USA, are key exporters. Major importers are typically regions with high consumer demand for convenience foods and processed fruit, including the EU, USA, and Canada. Factors like sugar content, syrup type, and packaging are critical for market appeal and regulatory compliance.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
