Abstract

Fruits are vital to consumer diets and an important part of the U.S. agricultural industry. Two berries (strawberries and blueberries) are among the most economically important fruits. With more than $2 billion in annual farm gate sales and accounting for a 13-percent share of the total production value of fruit, strawberries rank third for all fruit produced in the United States in 2020. Blueberries account for 5 percent of the total fruit production value. This report examined changes in domestic production, consumption, prices, and trade for strawberries and blueberries over two decades. This study helps explain how the major berry markets evolved in a short time and examines opportunities and challenges these markets face.

Note
This report used data from the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service and U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census through the USDA, Foreign Agricultural Service Global Agricultural Trade System. Authors also accessed movement data and producer and retail prices from USDA, Agricultural Marketing Service and U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Data gathered from these sources were used to understand changes in production, trade, and prices for strawberries and blueberries over the last two decades. The USDA, Economic Research Service calculated shares of exports and imports, as well as per capita availability, which was used as a proxy for domestic consumption. The authors also discussed the fresh and processed markets with industry representatives for greater understanding.
