The nation's utilized production of the leading noncitrus fruit crops totaled   
17.7 million tons in 1997, up 10 percent from 1996.  In 1997, utilized          
production increased from the previous year for all crops except apples,        
dates, olives, papayas, pineapples, and California prunes.                      
                                                                                
Value of utilized production for noncitrus fruit crops totaled 7.85 billion     
dollars, up 8 percent from 1996.  The value of grape production was up          
13 percent from 1996, and the value of strawberry production was up 18          
percent.  The value of production for avocados, tart cherries, cranberries,     
guavas, kiwifruit, and California prunes was estimated for this report by       
multiplying season average prices for 1996 by the 1997 production.

Utilized apple production for 1997 was estimated at 10.2 billion pounds,        
2 percent less than the last 2 years.  Production increases in California,      
Michigan, and New York were not enough to offset an 11 percent drop in          
production in Washington.  Michigan's production was up 50 percent from 1996's  
drought-reduced crop.  Washington's drop in production in 1997 was due          
primarily to smaller-sized fruit.                                               
                                                                                
Utilized grape production for 1997 totaled 6.83 million tons, up 23 percent     
from 1996.  California's production increased 24 percent from last year, with   
gains exceeding 20 percent for wine, table, and raisin types.  Washington's     
production more than doubled from 1996, but New York's production was down 26   
percent from a year ago.                                                        
                                                                                
Utilized peach production was set at 2.52 billion pounds, up 23 percent from    
last year and 15 percent above 1995.  The California crop, accounting for       
73 percent of the U.S. peach crop, was down from 83 percent in 1996.            
Production in Georgia and South Carolina rebounded to more normal levels after  
1996's freeze-damaged crops.                                                    
                                                                                
Utilized pear production was placed at 1.04 million tons, up 27 percent from    
1996.  Of the major pear-producing states, California was down 2 percent from   
last year, but Oregon was up 45 percent and Washington was up 52 percent.

The 1997 U.S. nut production (in-shell basis) increased 39 percent to           
1.15 million tons.  Almonds, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, and pistachios          
attained record production in 1997.  California almond production totaled 750   
million meat pounds (shelled basis), 47 percent above the 1996 total.           
Hazelnut production totaled 44,100 tons, more than double 1996's output and 13  
percent above 1995's production.  Hawaii's macadamia nut production, at 58.0    
million pounds, was a record large crop for the second year in a row, up 3      
percent from 1996.  California's pistachio production was estimated at 178      
million pounds, up 70 percent from a year ago.  California's walnut production  
increased 19 percent to 248,000 tons, the third highest on record.  U.S. pecan  
production was 272 million pounds, up 23 percent from last year.  Adverse       
weather conditions mid-way through the growing season prevented record crops    
in several States.                                                              
                                                                                
The 1997 value of utilized production for all the nut crops totaled 2.01        
billion dollars, up 21 percent from last year.  Value of almond production was  
a record high 1.08 billion dollars.  The value of production was 82 percent     
above last year for pecans and 65 percent above last year for pistachios.       
Value of macadamia nuts, at 42.9 million dollars, was down 3 percent from last  
year.  The value of production for walnuts was estimated for this report by     
multiplying season average prices for 1996 by the 1997 production.

Bearing Acreage - is determined by the mature fruit area in a given orchard.    
                  Bearing age is a function of many factors including variety,  
rootstock, and 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.            
                                                                                
                                                                                
Yield per Acre - is based on total production which includes unharvested        
                 production and fruit harvested but not sold due to marketing   
conditions.                                                                     
                                                                                
                                                                                
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.                  
                                                                                
                                                                                
Utilized Production - is the amount sold plus the quantities used at home or    
                      held in storage.                                          
                                                                                
                                                                                
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.              
                                                                                
                                                                                
Apples, Commercial Crop - orchards of 100 or more bearing age trees.            
                                                                                
                                                                                
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 (MYAP) 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
