This study determines the current market for selected ethnic vegetables to help farmers grow crops with documented demand. The specific ethnic market subjects of study were the Asian and Hispanic segments, with the top two sub-groups within each of these segments were chosen for the study; Chinese and Asian Indian (Asian sub-groups) and Puerto Rican and Mexican (Hispanic sub-groups). Surveys were collected to assess ethnic produce demand, quantify the current market, and acquire purchase data for ethnic crops to prioritize selections for production trials. The result of the production research prioritization process based upon primarily survey demand, combined with production considerations, yielded a targeted list of 28 crops recommended for production trials.
