The production of a summer time sweet decreased in New
York during 2012. The USDA announced that strawberry production in New York
dropped 11% from last year. The Empire State ranks as the 8th highest in strawberry
production in the country. However, the USDA says that New York increased blueberry
production by 5%. And that was the trend nationally as well with nearly 500 million
pounds of blueberries produced last year.
