Tomato Processors Expect to Contact 10.3 Million Tons
in 2005
As of
Processors estimate the
contracted product for 2005 will come from 265,000 acres producing an average
of 38.87 tons per acre. The contracted
acreage forecast is 28,000 acres less than was planted under contract in 2004. The anticipated yield for 2005 would be the second
highest on record.
This early processing tomato
contact intentions estimate was funded by California League of Food Processors
in cooperation with the California Department of Food and Agriculture. The USDA processing intentions estimate for
all states will be issued on April 1.
