The following tables provide market penetration by categories of Fruits/Nuts and Vegetables. RMA and 

National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Specialty Crop Comparisons Tables follow. These tables establish 

current participation rates for specialty crops. RMA acres are calculated using both CAT and buy-up level 

participation. The NASS acres used were the complete population of cropped acres. In rare instances, RMA 

acres exceed NASS acres, as seen in the specific state and crop tables located below.
