Overview
This data product provides users with comprehensive statistics
on fresh and processed fruit, melons, and tree nuts in the United
States, as well as global production and trade data for these
sectors. It harmonizes and integrates data from the ERS market
outlook program with data collected by different Federal and
international statistical agencies to facilitate analyses of
economic performance over time, and across domestic and foreign
markets.
- The Data
by Category section provides data on a calendar-year basis for
fresh and processed products. Data for commodity aggregates are
also presented in this section.
- The Data
by Commodity section offers more detailed data, including
State-level statistics, for single industries on a marketing-year
basis.
Data are provided for more than 30 individual fresh and
processed products. Data for commodity aggregates are also
presented for users to be able to examine the economic performance
of a sector relative to industry benchmarks, both national and
international. ERS has previously published these data in Fruit and
Tree Nuts Outlook and in the annual Fruit and Tree Nuts Yearbook and
commodity-specific data products.
This data product is a work in progress. The current release
features U.S. imports and exports of fruit, melons, and tree nuts,
as well as average retail prices and price indexes for commodities
and commodity aggregates. In the future, other data series will be
added, including U.S. and State-level acreage, yield, and
production data; shipments and shipping point prices; U.S. supply
and disappearance; and per capita use.
