California/Ciruelas deshidratadas: estiman caída del 7% en la producción para nueva temporada 2024/25

The California Prune Board (CPB) estimates an average production volume of 65,000 metric tons (71,650 short tons) for the 2024 California prune crop, as reported by the International Nut & Dried Fruit Congress (INC). Growers are vigilantly monitoring the crop and taking all necessary steps to mitigate the impact of high temperatures.

California has experienced triple-digit temperatures recently, with forecasts indicating more heat waves on the horizon. This extreme heat poses significant challenges for California prune growers.
