USDA economist Bart Kenner discussed the trends in U.S. processed fruit and vegetable oil exports. Fresh fruit exports declined by 1% year-over-year, while prepared and preserved fruits increased by 10%. Fruit juice consumption dropped by 10%, particularly orange juice due to production issues. There was a 108% increase in vegetable oil export volume, corresponding to a 50% rise in value, with a significant decrease in unit values due to high demand for biofuel production.
