Noncitrus Fruit & Tree Nut Program 

March 2024

Every 5 years NASS conducts a program review following the completion of the Census of Agriculture. The primary

purpose is to ensure that the NASS annual estimating program targets commodities and states most relevant based on the latest available 

information. Last fall we announced the program review and requested stakeholder input.

The primary source of information for the program review is the Census of Agriculture, since it is the most

comprehensive source of data; however we also take into consideration estimates from the current annual estimating program and administrative 

data.

The program changes balance resources across all of the programs included in the annual estimating program, which

represents over 400 individual reports.

NASS publishes in-season forecasts for a number of noncitrus fruit and tree nut crops. The following table indicates the crops that are forecasted by 

month.

Pecan Bearing Age Acreage

NASS will begin publishing pecan bearing age acreage by type (Native and seedling type and Improved type).

States included in the estimating program for noncitrus fruit and nut crops.

For each crop, both production and total value of production were reviewed. Totals were arrayed from largest to smallest. States that account 

for the largest proportion of the total were identified for inclusion in the annual estimating program. This allows us to provide the most useful 

data to the agricultural sector in the most efficient means possible given the limited available resources.
