U.S. Fresh Fruit Export and Consumption Estimates, 1978-92

摘要

During 1978-92, the United States exported more fresh fruit than had beenreported by the Bureau of the Census. Import data made available by Statistics Canada revealed that some shipments of fresh fruit from the United States to Canada had not been counted by the Bureau. Using the Canadian data raised total U.S. fruit exports and lowered consumption. The author determined that U.S. consumption of citrus fruits was 5 percent lower and consumption of noncitrus fruits was 1 percent lower than previously estimated.
