Sweet Cherry Output Jumps 45%
WASHINGTON - Jun 10/-9 - SNS -- The combined 2009 sweet cherry production for California, Oregon, and Washington is forecast at 315,000 tons, up 45% from 2008 and 14% above 2007, according to the USDA's latest crop production estimates.
Washington's production is forecast at 180,000 tons, up 80% from the previous year. A very cold winter, combined with an excellent bloom, provided a good start for the 2009 crop. Very little damage was reported from cold weather this Spring, with newer plantings coming into full production.
Oregon's 2009 sweet cherry production is forecast at 60,000 tons, up 94% from 2008. Higher production levels were expected due to reports of ideal weather conditions for crop growth in the two main areas where cherries are grown in Oregon. Also, producers in the largest growing area reported the highest expected production as a percentage of a full crop.
California's production is forecast at 75,000 tons, down 13% from 2008. Spring weather generated occasional rain and cool temperatures for California's sweet cherry crop. Storms early in the month produced some damages to Brooks and Burlat varieties.
