HARVESTED ACREAGE FOR NEW YORK FRESH VEGETABLES
DOWN 2 PERCENT;
NATIONAL ACREAGE UNCHANGED
In New York, prospective area for harvest of 5 selected fresh market vegetables is 72,600 acres, down 2 percent from the 74,400 acres that were harvested in 2001, and up 15 percent from 2000. Increases in sweet corn and snap beans were offset by decreases in cabbage, tomatoes, and onions.
Nationally, the prospective area for harvest of 11 selected fresh market vegetables during the summer quarter is forecast to be 324,400 acres, unchanged from last year. Acreage decreases for broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, sweet corn, and tomatoes offset acreage increases for snap beans, carrots, celery, cucumbers, and head lettuce. Bell peppers remained the same.
Eggplant estimates were discontinued in 2002. Area forecast for melon harvest is 130,200 acres, up 3 percent from last year. Cantaloupe acreage is forecast at 49,200 acres, unchanged from 2001. Honeydew acreage, at 14,800 acres, is up 5 percent. Watermelon acreage, at 66,200 acres, is 4 percent above from last year.
Spring strawberry production is forecast
at 15.5 million cwt., up 8 percent for comparable States from last year.
Spring strawberry yield is forecast at 475 cwt, up 5 cwt from 2001. Area
for harvest, at 32,600 acres, is up 7 percent for comparable States from
2001.
NEW YORK HARVESTED ONION ACREAGE DOWN 4 PERCENT
U.S. ONION ACREAGE UNCHANGED
New York onion growers planted 12,700 acres this year, down 4 percent from last year. Harvested onion acreage is expected to total 12,100 acres, 700 acres less than last year's final harvested acreage. Wetness delayed planting in some areas and prevented it in others.
U.S. onion growers expect to harvest
158,680 acres of onions in 2002. This is unchanged from last year. Spring
onion growers harvested 35,400 acres, down 2 percent from last year. Summer,
non-storage onion growers expect to harvest 21,700 acres, 5 percent above
last year. Storage onion growers (including California) plan to harvest
101,580 acres in 2002, virtually unchanged from last year. California
plans to harvest 28,200 acres, the same as last year.
NEW YORK PROCESSED VEGETABLE ACREAGE DOWN;
NATIONAL ACREAGE UP 3 PERCENT
This year, processors contracted 17,000 acres of green peas in New York for processing, down 7 percent from 2001. Processors also contracted 42 percent less acres of sweet corn for processing than they did last year.
National vegetable processors have contracted 1.26 million acres to be planted to the 5 major vegetable crops (snap beans, sweet corn, cucumbers for pickles, green peas, and tomatoes). This acreage is up 3 percent from last year for comparable States.
Vegetable processors have contracted 1.26 million acres to be planted to the 5 major vegetable crops (snap beans, sweet corn, cucumbers for pickles, green peas, and tomatoes). This acreage is up 3 percent from last year for comparable states. All major processing vegetables, except sweet corn, show increases in contracted planted acreage from last year's comparable States. Green pea production, at 380, 680 tons, is down 1 percent for comparable States from 2001. Contracted tomato production is forecast at 11.1 million tons, up 21 percent from 2001 for comparable States.
