USDA Discontinues Raisins: World Markets and Trade Report
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) has discontinued the annual Raisins: World Markets and Trade report as well as raisin-related updates to the Production, Supply, and Distribution (PSD) database. USDA’s National Agricultural Statistical Service is no longer reporting U.S. production data for several categories of raisin-type grapes, meaning FAS is no longer able to develop a comprehensive global PSD estimate for raisins.
