Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Shipments By Commodities, States, and Months
2 Issued February 2011
PREFACE
This summary publishes the domestic rail and piggyback shipments, available truck and air shipments and exports of fresh fruits and vegetables by commodities, modes of transportation, origins, and months. Available domestic boat shipments from U.S. possessions and imports from foreign countries are also shown. All amounts are shown in units of 100,000 lbs. Rail and piggyback shipments were reported by rail carriers that issue the initial line-haul revenue waybills. Rail shipments are those moving in refrigerated railcars. Piggyback shipments include those moving in trailer-on-flat-car, container-on-flat-car service and intermodal. Truck and air shipments and exports for all commodities and origins are not available. Those obtainable are reported, but should not be interpreted as representing complete movements of a commodity. Truck, air and boat shipments and exports from all states are collected at shipping points and include both inter and intrastate movements. They are obtained from various sources, including Federal marketing orders, administrative committees, Federal State inspection service, and shippers. Data on imports from foreign countries, except Mexico, were obtained from official records of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Mexico data are border crossings secured from Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Crossings from Mexico may include some transshipment to other countries. Transshipments may reach material levels during the Mexican winter shipping season. Transshipment figures can be determined from the final monthly Customs report. Commodity classification table is shown on page 7. Major items are specifically identified, while minor commodities are grouped together and classified under an appropriate commodity heading. A table of net weights for the most commonly used containers for major commodities is shown on page 8. Container net weights for other commodities shown in this summary, as well as factors used to convert railcars and piggyback vans to weight units, are available upon request. California shipments are listed by district, e.g., Northern—Calif North, Central—Calif Cent, Southern—Calif South, and Imperial Valley-Calif Imp Vly. Cooperation of the railroad, members of the produce industry and officials of State Departments of Agriculture, farmers’ markets, Department of Homeland Security, Customs Border Patrol and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is gratefully acknowledged.
