Noncitrus Fruits and Nuts
1998 Preliminary Summary
 
January 1999
 
 
 
 
1998 Noncitrus Utilized Production and Value Both Down 13 Percent from 1997
 
In 1998, the Nation's utilized production of the leading noncitrus fruit crops
totaled 16.0 million tons, down 13 percent from 1997's record production.
Utilized production decreased from last year for all crops except apples,
bananas, tart cherries, dates, papayas, pineapples, other prunes and plums, and
strawberries.  Grape utilized production accounted for almost three-fourths of
the decline from 1997.
 
Value of utilized production for noncitrus fruit crops totaled 7.10 billion
dollars, down 13 percent from 1997.  The value of apple, grape, and peach
production declined by 22 percent, 20 percent, and less than 1 percent,
respectively.  Strawberries showed an increase of 14 percent.
 
                            Highlights
 
Utilized Apple production for 1998 was estimated at 10.6 billion pounds,
3 percent greater than 1997.  Production in Eastern States was reduced as a
result of dry conditions but was more than offset by large production increases
in Washington, Colorado, and Idaho.
 
Utilized grape production for 1998 totaled 5.59 million tons, down 23 percent
from 1997's record crop but 1 percent above the 1996 crop.  California
production was down 24 percent from last year, with raisin, table, and wine
type production decreasing 32 percent, 27 percent, and 15 percent,
respectively.  Washington production decreased 30 percent from 1997, while
production in Michigan increased 16 percent.  New York and Pennsylvania also
declined from a year ago.
 
Utilized peach production in 1998 was estimated at 2.35 billion pounds, down
6 percent from last year but 15 percent above 1996.  The California crop,
accounting for 74 percent of the U.S. peach crop, was down 6  percent from
1997.
 
Utilized pear production, at 924 thousand tons, was down 11 percent from last
year's crop.  Washington, California, and Oregon the top three producing
states, were down 20 percent, 8 percent, and 4 percent, respectively.  New
York, Pennsylvania, and Michigan all posted larger crops, however, New York
left 13 percent of their total production unharvested due to poor fruit quality
caused by bad weather during the growing season.
 
            U.S. Nut Production and Value Drop Sharply
 
The 1998 U.S. nut production (in-shell basis) dropped 25 percent to
903 thousand tons.  Pistachios, at 188 million pounds, were the only tree nut
to show a production increase over 1997, up 4 percent.  Hazelnut production led
the declines, plummeting 67 percent to 15.5 thousand tons.  Pecans fell
54 percent to a production level of 155 million pounds.  Almonds, at
520 million pounds, showed a decline of 31 percent.  Walnuts were off
18 percent with 220 thousand tons produced.  Alternate bearing cycles and
adverse weather were the primary causes of the decreases.
 
The 1998 U.S. value of utilized production decreased 22 percent to
1.64 billion dollars.  Hazelnut value, at 15.2 million dollars, was down
64 percent despite an improved price per ton.  Almonds accounted for 898
million dollars, down 23 percent.  Macadamias, at 35.5 million dollars, and
pistachios, at 186 million dollars, were off 18 percent and 8 percent,
respectively.  In spite of drastically lower production, the pecan value was
only off 26 percent due to sharply higher prices.

                       Definition of Terms
 
Apples, Commercial Crop is orchards of 100 or more bearing age trees.
 
Bearing Acreage is determined by the mature fruit area in a given orchard.
Bearing age is a function of many factors including variety, rootstock, year
planted, etc.  It is primarily based on periodic orchard surveys.  In
non-survey years, acreage is based on trends, county extension service data,
end-of-year production surveys, and other indications.
 
Prices are a marketing year average for all methods of sale.  For a crop sold
for both fresh market and processing, the Marketing Year Average Price (MYA) is
a weighted average of the fresh and processing price.
 
Prices for fresh fruit are the average prices producers receive at the point of
first sale.  This is commonly referred to as the average price as sold. Since
the point of first sale is not the same for all producers, prices for the
various methods of sale are weighted by the proportionate quantity sold. For
example, if in a given State part of the fruit is sold F.O.B. packed by
growers, part is sold as bulk fruit at the packinghouse door, and some is sold
retail at roadside stands, the fresh fruit average price as sold is a weighted
average of the average price for each method of sale.  The exception is fresh
fruit sales in California, Washington, New York (apples only) and Oregon
(except peaches) which are equivalent returns at packinghouse door.  The
equivalent packinghouse returns represent adjusted prices.
 
F.O.B. packed prices are adjusted to an equivalent incoming packinghouse door
price by subtracting all costs that accumulate between the incoming
packinghouse door and the F.O.B. price.  These costs include grading, packing,
inspecting fees, selling, and other costs.
 
Prices for fruit sold for processing are equivalent returns for fruit delivered
to the processing plant door except for cranberries and California olives and
clingstone peaches which are priced at the first delivery point.
 
Crop value estimates in this report cover the marketing season or crop year and
should not be confused with cash receipts from these crops which are on a
calendar year.
 
Total Production is the quantity actually harvested plus quantities which would
have been acceptable for fresh market or processing but were not harvested
because of economic or natural reasons.
 
Unutilized Production is the difference between total and utilized production
which is fruit not harvested for economic or natural reasons and harvested
fruit not sold or utilized.
 
Utilization refers to first utilization, not necessarily final utilization. For
example, frozen fruit includes some fruit that may be later used for making
preserves.  Grade-outs for fresh market fruit which are processed are included
in the processing quantity.  Fruit graded-out from canning or freezing and
utilized for juice is included with juice.
 
Utilized Production is the amount sold plus the quantities used at home or held
in storage.
 
Yield per Acre is based on total production which includes unharvested
production and fruit harvested but not sold due to marketing conditions.
 
 
            State Value of Sales Computation Procedure
 
The following procedure is used to compute State values for all commodity
groups:
 
 Fresh Market Value =     Fresh Market MYA
                          Times
                    Fresh Market Utilization
 
 
 Process Market Value =   Process Market MYA
                          Times
                          Process Market Utilization
 
 
 "All" Sales Value =      Fresh Market Value
                      Plus
                          Process Market Value
 
 
 "All" Sales MYA =       "All" Sales Value
                    Divided By
                   "All" Sales Utilization
 
For commodities with components not identified by market channel, substitute
breakdown name for fresh/processing market and use the same procedure.
 
 
                  U.S. MYA Computation Procedure
 
 
The procedure used for computation of U.S. Marketing Year Average Prices
follows:
 
 Fresh Market MYA =   Fresh Market Value For All States
                   Divided By
                Fresh Market Utilization For All States
 
 
 Process Market MYA = Process Market Value For All States
                   Divided By
                Process Market Utilization For All States
 
 
 "All" Sales MYA =    Sales Value For All States
                      Divided By
                      Sales Utilization For All States
