Pear production in South Africa
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the context of global production, South Africa is a very small producer of Pyrus communis L. pears with roughly 3% of global production (metric ton). Current plantings are approximately 12,000 hectares, with the main cultivars, 'Williams Bon Chretien' (including 'Early Bon Chretien'), 'Packham's Triumph', 'Forelle', 'Rosemarie', 'Beurré Bosc', 'Abate Fétel' and 'Doyenné du Comice'. The new plantings in recent years indicate a move towards 'Forelle' and 'Abate Fétel' but still included further plantings of 'Packham's Triumph' and 'Early Bon Chretien'. Roughly 40% of production is passed for export, 42.5% used for processing (canning and juice), 18% for local market and a very small percentage for drying. The main export destination for fresh pears from South Africa is Europe with approximately 50%, the United Kingdom with 24% and then a number of smaller markets, e.g., Far East/Asia 16%, Middle East 5%, Canada and the USA 3% and Africa 2%.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
