ERS conducts market outlook (situation and outlook analysis) for
fresh and processed fruit and tree nuts within the Fruit and Tree
Nuts program area. ERS analysts consider the development and implementation
of agricultural and trade policies, effective domestic and foreign
demand for fruit and tree nuts, weather, commodity and input prices,
and general market conditions.
Information and data are published
five times a year, every other month beginning in March, in the Fruit and Tree
Nuts Outlook. Long-term supply and utilization projections for
fruit and tree nuts are published in USDA
Agricultural Baseline Projections, released annually in February.
ERS also provides fruit and tree nut data through Fruit
and Tree Nuts Yearbook published annually in October. The Yearbook
provides over 20 years of time-series data for fresh and processed
commodities and includes annual bearing acreage, production, prices,
value, imports, exports, per capita consumption, and monthly grower
and retail prices.
