Swiss plum harvest 2026

Overview

In late July, Swiss authorities projected the 2026 plum harvest at roughly 3,600 tonnes, slightly above the five‑year average, with the Valais region leading production and the historic Fellenberg variety accounting for about a third of the crop.

A week later, growers reported that warm weather had delivered a high‑quality, abundant yield. The plentiful fruit spurred culinary interest, exemplified by a widely shared vegan plum chutney recipe that highlights the season’s sweet‑sour, aromatic plums.

The initial production forecast thus proved accurate, and the successful harvest has moved from statistical expectations to concrete consumer and food‑industry applications.
