In California, blueberry production will be higher this year.
In California, blueberry harvesting has started 7 to 10 days behind schedule but volumes are going to increase rapidly and production is estimated to be 25 to 30% higher than last year.
According to estimates by the California Blueberry Commission (CBC), production will be 25 to 30% higher than last year, which saw its volume decline due to frost damage. This year the expected increase is mainly due to larger areas. For CBC, 2018 acreage totaled 8,755 acres (3543 hectares), almost 33% more than in 2017.
The campaign promises to be satisfactory with fruits judged of good caliber, tasty and of good quality.
