Area and production both increased substantially during 1980 but soon there was a glut in the market and farmers got panicy and resorted to the uprooting of pear orchards during 1985-86. At present, area under pear in Punjab is 2707 hectares, with annual production of 59992 MT.
Pear is one of the most important fruit crops of temperate regions. Fruits are tasty with pleasant flavour.
