Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fruit Situation, Vol. 128: August 1958
Fresh market supplies of deciduous fruits are expected to be generally larger, and those of citrus fruits smaller during late summer and early fall than in this period of 1957. Demand for deciduous fruits for processing appears stronger than last year and consumer demand for all fruit continues good.
Grower prices for deciduous fruits to be marketed in late summer and early fall are expected to average somewhat under a year earlier. Prices for most citrus fruits will continue higher.
Total production of deciduous fruits in 1958, according to the August crop report, is expected to be about 3 percent larger than in 1957 and 2 per cent above the 19h7-56 average. The increase over 1957 results mainly from a much larger crop of peaches and moderately larger crops of apples and grapes. Production of pears and sweet cherries is moderately smaller than in 1957, and that of sour cherries, apricots, plums and prunes is down sharply.
Heavy increases in production of walnuts and pecans more than offset large decreases in almonds and filberts, and total production of tree nuts in 1958 is expected to be 11 percent larger than in 1957 and 6 percent above aver age. All nut crops, except almonds, are above average.
