The production value of apricots in South Africa declined to roughly 223 million South African Rands (approximately 13.6 million U.S. dollars) in 2018/19. The decrease followed a major peak at 267.1 million Rands (around 16.3 million U.S. dollars) in the year before. Four other peaks were registered in 2003/04, 2005/06, 2011/12, and 2014/15 with increases of 52.3 percent, 57.8 percent, 102.4 percent, and 44.6 percent, respectively. In the last two decades, the production value of apricots varied significantly, which can be linked to droughts as well as the fact that apricots may experience alternate bearing (varied production over years).

Data for 2018/2019 is preliminary.

Alternate bearing or biennial bearing refers to the tendency of an entire tree to produce a greater than average crop one year, and a lower than average crop the following year. Long term studies of flower and fruit production in almond demonstrated that individual spurs alternate between years in which flowers and fruits are produced and years in which only leaves are produced.
