ERS conducts market outlook for fresh and processed vegetables,
melons, potatoes, pulse crops (dry beans, dry peas, and
lentils), and mushrooms within the vegetables and specialties
program area. To generate this information, ERS considers
the development and implementation of agricultural and
trade policies, effective domestic and foreign demand
for vegetables and melons, weather, commodity and input
prices, and general market conditions.
Publications
ERS disseminates vegetable and melon market information
through publications, speeches, data products, and this
briefing room. The primary publication is Vegetables
and Melons Outlook. This report contains market analysis
and data for vegetables, melons, dry beans, dry peas,
lentils, and mushrooms. The fresh vegetable and processing
vegetable sections feature developments in many of the
major markets covering production, trade, domestic consumption,
and prices. Tabular data include acreage, production,
crop value, monthly grower and retail price trends, quarterly
trade volume, exports and imports by country, and per
capita disappearance (consumption).
Data
 ERS provides vegetable and melon data through tables
published in Vegetables and Melons Outlook. The
annual Vegetables
and Melons Yearbook provides a 25-year time-series

annual acreage, production, prices, value, imports, exports,
per capita consumption, and monthly grower and retail
prices. In addition to the Yearbook
