A Wave Of Blue

摘要

With blueberry production increasing around the world, it's important for the industry to maintain demand. HEALTH interest continues to drive blueberry demand, and this increasing interest is encouraging increased worldwide blueberry production. Givenproduction trends, industry efforts to encourage new and expanded use of blueberries are needed to keep demand ahead of supply. A "blue wave" of blueberries is rapidly approaching. World blueberry acreage from 1995 to 2010 has increased from just over 50,000 acres to nearly 190,000 acres. Though most of this growth has taken place in North and South America, other regions are also catching this "wave" and are either expanding their acreage or becoming new blueberry producers.
