PRUNES - Prune growers face economic woes as their harvest reaches the midway point, reported the California Farm Bureau Federation. Prices remain low because of a large supply left from last year. Some packers still have not signed contracts with farmers to buy the fruit. Higher natural-gas prices have hurt farmers who operate prune dehydrators, especially if they signed gas contracts earlier in the year when prices were especially high.
RAISINS - The volume of imports of Seedless Raisins through July 1 was down 27% when compared to 2000. Shipments from Chile, which accounted for 60% of the total volume, were down 35% to 4.4 million pounds. Shipments from Mexico, typically the largest importer to the U.S., totaled 3.2 million pounds, up 24%. The c.i.f. value of Raisins from Mexico during June averaged 44 cents per pound, according to The Food Institute's analysis of the Bureau of Census Data.
U.S. imports of Sultanas for the first half of the year totaled 122,720 pounds, a decrease of 92% when compared to the same period of time in 2000.
