What affects Plums prices
US plum prices reflect orchard production, fruit size and quality, domestic and export demand, and the limited postharvest life of fresh stone fruit. California produces the vast majority of US fresh plums, making weather and orchard conditions in that state especially influential. Spring frost, poor pollination weather, heat, rain near harvest, and pests or diseases can affect crop volume and packout. Labor for pruning and harvest, water and other orchard inputs, refrigeration, packaging, and freight costs also shape market conditions, while imports provide additional supply outside the main domestic season.
California plum harvest usually runs from late spring or early summer into early fall, with varieties ripening in sequence. Domestic supplies are generally most plentiful during the summer, when multiple varieties are harvested and shipped. Fresh plums have only a limited storage and shipping window, although controlled-atmosphere handling can extend marketing somewhat after harvest. Imports, particularly from Chile during the Northern Hemisphere winter, help maintain US availability when California's season is over.
