Summary
shipments did not make up
for a sharp drop in imports of
tomatoes, peppers, and
cucumbers from Mexico.
Domestic shipments of all
important fresh vegetables
except carrots and celery
were heavier with Florida
tomatoes showing the
greatest gain. Larger stocks
of storage onions contributed
to this supply, too.
Farm and retail prices for
fresh vegetables likely will
' hold steady to slightly higher
in the second quarter. Some
seasonal decline is expected
in third quarter 1975.
Processed vegetable
supplies have been ample
this season. The combination
of increased packs and some
reduction in demand has
eased the tight supply
position which prevailed for
much of 1974. In response to
a generally adequate supply
picture, processors handling
8 major vegetable crops
expect to contract for 3
percent more vegetable
acreage in 1975. These 8
vegetables account for about
90 percent of all processed
vegetable tonnage. This year
there is further expansion of

tomato and pickle cucumber
acreage. Under average
yield conditions, 3 to 5
percent more vegetables for
processing might be ex
pected this coming season. A
larger total canned pack is
likely for 1975, but freezers
may cut back moderately to
avoid excessive supplies in
1975-76.
After 2 years of high prices
and relatively light market
supplies, this year the potato
industry is working its way
out of a serious oversupply
situation. April 1 stocks of 73
million cwt were record
large for that date. The
spring crop production
estimate is down a fourth,
but prices to Eastern
growers are expected to be
generally weak well into the
spring quarter. Western
Russet Burbank prices have
shown recent strength.
Growers intend to plant 5
percent less acreage this
summer and fall. The
sharpest reductions are in
Maine, Minnesota, and
Idaho.
Prospective plantings
reported in mid-March show
that sweetpotato growers
expect to plant 1 percent
fewer acres this season. With
heavy stocks of canned
sweets now on hand,

processors arc not likely to
uso as many this coming
season.
With generous supplies of
dry beans now on hand,
growers' intentions arc to
plant 8 percent less acreage
to dry beans this year. The
largest cuts arc to come in
California where limas and
blackcye peas arc grown,
and in Michigan, the major
source of pea beans. These
classes are currently in
heaviest supply. An 8 per
cent acreage cut under
average yield conditions
would still provide more
than adequate supplies for
the coming season.
