Belgium-Luxembourg, and 131,400 cases to the Netherlands. France, Switzerland, and Austria 
are also large buyers. 
Canned peach pulp exports have been much smaller than canned apricot pulp but are an 
important item. Since 1954-55, they have totaled over the 300,000-case (24-25 equivalent) level, 
and in 1957-58 reached a high of 566,700 cases. The United Kingdom is the largest market for 
canned peach pulp and during the 5-year period (1953-57), shipments averaged 251,900 cases. 
Germany, Denmark, and Austria are also important markets--but to a much lesser extent. 
For years, Spanish export statistics on fruits canned in sirup included all fruits and did 
not provide a breakdown among individual items. Beginning in 1953-54--when these data became 
available--Spain's exports of fruits canned, natural, and sweetened, and consisting mostly of 
apricots and peaches, totaled only 31,600 cases, 24-23's equivalent. By 1956-57, exports had 
increased to 344,200 cases and then soared to 718,100 in 1957-58. In the past 2 years, Spain's 
exports of canned deciduous fruits, natural and sweetened, fell from this height to the 500,000- 
600,000 range. 
The best picture of the relevant importance of individual canned fruit items and the expan- 
sion of the Spanish industry can probably be seen in the U.K. import statistics, since the United 
Kingdom is one of the largest markets for Spanish canned fruits.
