Хоча is a conjunction meaning although / even though. It introduces a concessive clause: a clause that presents a contrast or something unexpected.

Хоча ... , ...

It does not control a case by itself; it simply connects two clauses.
Why is there a comma after сезонні?
In Ukrainian, a clause introduced by хоча is normally separated by a comma from the main clause.
So:
Хоча груші сезонні, урожай поганий.
The first part is the subordinate clause, and the second part is the main clause.
If you reverse the order, the comma is still needed:
Урожай поганий, хоча груші сезонні.
