NEW MEXICO: Pecan production in New Mexico totaled 39 million pounds in 2004, a low bearing year in the alternating cycle of our trees. This was 29 percent lower than 2003's 55 million pounds, but 8 percent higher than 2002's 36 million pounds, the previous low bearing year in the cycle. Price per pound increased $1.00 to $2.28, the highest price in the country. The low supply with 2004 being an off year and the weather damage in Georgia, plus the high quality of this year’s crop contributed to the high prices. Value of production totaled $88.9 million, compared to $70.4 million the year before, and $45 million in 2002.
UNITED STATES: Pecan production for 2004 is estimated at 92,900 tons, a 34 percent decrease from 2003. The crop showed an 18 percent increase in value, to 327 million dollars.
