Little Change in Fresh Vegetable Area
WASHINGTON - Jul 10/02 - SNS -- The USDA left its projected harvest area for fresh market vegetables virtually unchanged at 324,400 acres in its latest crop report.
Acreage decreases for broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, sweet corn, and tomatoes offset acreage increases for snap beans, carrots, celery, cucumbers, and head lettuce. Bell peppers remained the same.
Area forecast for melon harvest is 130,200 acres, up 3% from last year. Cantaloup acreage is forecast at 49,200 acres, unchanged from 2001. Honeydew acreage, at 14,800 acres, is up 5%. Watermelon acreage, at 66,200 acres, is 4% above last year. Acreage for eggplant is not available since the estimate was discontinued in 2002.
