USAPPLE CROP UPDATE

August 30, 2022
Fruit, News

The U.S. apple production has been steadily growing over the last 75 years, and
the projections indicate an upward trend increasing by 7.6% by 2026. From 2007
to 2021, the number of apple-bearing acres in the U.S. fell by around 17% but at
the same time, production increased by more than 8%. Most of these gains are due
to significant reinvestments to develop higher density orchards. (Source: US
Apple Industry Outlook 2022)

USDA forecasted the total 2022 apple crop to be 3% higher than 2021 crop. With
the new information collected at the USApple Conference in mid-August, however,
the current crop is expected to be 2% shorter than last year’s. The main driver
for the drastic change in direction is the crop in Washington State, which was
expected to be 3% below last year’s, but now, is forecasted to be 11% smaller
than 2021.

Washington State’s crop is 60%-65% of the total U.S. crop, so volume variances
have a significant impact on U.S. total production.

Washington State is followed by New York with 32.3M bushels (+1.3% from 2021),
Michigan with 26.2M bushels (+89% from last year’s terrible crop), “other”
states with 13.9M (flat), Pennsylvania with 11M (-17% from 2021), and then
California, Virginia, and Oregon.

Apple Varieties:

 * Varieties on the rise include Honeycrisp (+48% in the past five years), Pink
   Lady/Cripps Pink, and Cosmic Crisp (+40% from 2021).
 * Varieties in decline include Golden Delicious, Gala (still strong #1
   variety), and Red Delicious (-41% in the past five years).

Lady/Cripps Pink 4% Golden Delicious 4% Rome 4% Ambrosia 2% Cosmic Crisp 3%
Braeburn 0% Idared 3% Others 9% Others 10%

A quick mention about the Cosmic Crisp variety:

 * over 14 million trees have been planted
 * 2019: 335,000 bushels - first true commercial crop
 * 2020: 2.1 million bushels
 * 2021: 5.1 million bushels
 * 2022 (F): 7.1 million bushels
 * 2026 … 20 million bushels (very close to Honeycrisp and Fuji)

Meanwhile, organic apples maintain their importance in the market. Their premium
to the packing houses is 16% over conventional apples. U.S. retail median price
for conventional apples is $1.35/lb, for organic the price is $2.12/lb, a
difference of $0.77/lb. or 57%. There is significant interest in increasing
production of organic apples.

Apples, both organic and conventional, are part of FruitSmart’s core business;
