Major Drop in Sweet Cherry Crop
WASHINGTON - Jun 10/05 - SNS -- The 2005 sweet cherry production for California, Oregon, and Washington is forecast at 200,000 tons, down 20% from 2004 and 11% below 2003, according to the latest USDA crop production estimates.
Washington's 2005 production is forecast at 120,000 tons, down 10% from last year. Washington's cherry crop experienced poor weather during bloom that hindered bee activity and pollination.
Frost during April was a problem for some producers. Fruit set is reported to be lighter than last year as many growers are reporting smaller fruit clusters that could indicate fruit sizing will be larger.
The California crop, at 45,000 tons, is down 38% from 2004. A series of heavy, late-season storms caused problems for this year's cherry crop.
