Prune Crop Pegged at 120,000 Tons
WASHINGTON - Oct 28/08 - SNS -- California's 2008 prune production forecast is 120,000 dried tons, up 45% from last year's below normal crop of 83,000 tons but 39% below the 2006 crop, according to the USDA's revised crop production and seeded area estimates.
This forecast is carried forward from the June forecast. The 2008 prune crop was hit by a mid-April frost, with some growers reportedly losing 25 to 100% of their crop.
While the frost was widespread across the State, the low lying orchards received the heaviest damage.
The overall crop is still expected to be above 2007 but below previous high production levels. Prune demand is up, and the harvest and delivery is scheduled to be completed on time.
