U.S. Apricot Crop Off 2%

WASHINGTON - Jul 9/10 - SNS -- The final forecast for the 2010 apricot crop is 67,300 tons, down 2% from last year, according to the latest USDA crop production estimates.

California's 2010 apricot production, projected to be 60,000 tons, is unchanged from the June 1 forecast but slightly above last year's production. The apricot crop in California represents 89% of the total 2010 United States apricot production.

Harvest continued throughout the Central and San Joaquin Valley. Mostly favorable weather helped the crop remain in good condition. Washington's forecasted production, at 7,000 tons, is down 21% from last year.

Washington's apricot crop experienced poor pollination due to cool weather conditions in the spring. Utah's production is forecast at 300 tons, down 6% from 2009. Cool weather in the central and northern portions of Utah, along with multiple frosts well into May, negatively impacted this year's production.
