Horticultural Products Review, October 1993. U.S. Exports of Ginseng Crossed $100 Million Level in 1992

摘要

Ginseng joined other smaller horticultural products such as hops in the $100 million export club in 1992. Approximately 87 percent of all U.S. ginseng exports go to Hong Kong. In 1988, U.S. exports to Hong Kong totalled $42.6 million and then climbed to $92.9 million in 1992, an increase of 118 percent. U.S. exports of horticultural products in July 1993 totalled $600 million, 12 percent above the same month last year. The largest increases were in fresh citrus and non-citrus fruit, fresh vegetables, processed vegetables, and miscellaneous products like beer. Declines occurred in tree nuts, and dried, frozen, and processed fruit. During the first ten months (October to July) of fiscal 1993, the total value of U.S. horticultural exports was $6.0 billion, 4 percent above the same period last year.
