Consisting of a wide array of crops and products, the U.S. fruit
and tree nuts industry (excluding melons) generates, on average,
around $18 billion in farm cash receipts annually. During the
2000s, fruit and tree nut cash receipts averaged 13 percent of all
crop receipts and 6 percent of all farm cash receipts. Imports make
up over one-third of domestic consumption of fruit and tree nuts.
Oranges, grapes, apples, and bananas are the most popular fruit,
and almonds, walnuts, and pecans are the most preferred tree nuts.
ERS work on fruit and tree nuts includes the following:
- Current and historical data on supply, use, value, prices, and
trade for the sector and for individual commodities;

intelligence and forecasts on changing conditions in the U.S. fruit
and tree nuts sector; and
- In-depth analyses of production, consumption, global production
and trade, prices, and conditions and events affecting the fruit
