Apricot trade begins with product form, variety and intended use—not a generic stone-fruit label. Fresh apricots, dried or dehydrated fruit, canned styles, puree and juice have separate standards and commercial channels. Comparable fresh offers require variety, grade and inspection basis, size or count, maturity and firmness, defects, treatment, pack, origin, quantity, currency, Incoterm, destination, delivery window and information vintage.
The figures below are USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service estimates for the 2025 United States apricot crop, published in May 2026. They separate utilized production into fresh-market and processing use. These are dated crop measures, not global trade totals or a current physical offer; annual average value is intentionally not presented as a live lot price.
Fresh whole apricots are commercially distinct from dried or dehydrated fruit, canned halves or slices, puree, nectar and other processed forms. Variety, fresh or processed state and intended use determine which quality standard, unit, packaging and handling evidence applies. Atlas keeps those product identities separate before comparing lots or reference data.
USDA AMS fresh-apricot grades distinguish U.S. No. 1 and U.S. No. 2 using single-variety identity, maturity, form and defect tolerances. Dried, dehydrated and canned apricots have their own standards and cannot inherit the fresh-fruit grade. A physical record should preserve the actual grade authority, variety, size or count, maturity and firmness, defects, treatment and plant-health evidence, pack, cold-chain history and arrival condition.
USDA NASS estimated 37,880 short tons of utilized U.S. apricot production in 2025, split into 20,410 tons for the fresh market and 17,470 tons for processing, from 5,620 bearing acres. These dated measures describe domestic crop scale and use. A delivered price still needs the exact product form, variety, grade, size, origin, destination, Incoterm, delivery window and current physical evidence.
No. Fresh, dried, dehydrated, canned, puree and juice products have different moisture, quality, unit, packaging, logistics and end-use requirements and must be treated as separate commercial products.
It is USDA NASS's estimate of utilized United States apricot production for the 2025 crop year. It is a dated domestic crop measure, not global output and not a current physical price.
U.S. No. 1 and U.S. No. 2 describe single-variety identity, maturity, form and defect tolerances under the USDA fresh standard. Processed apricot forms use different standards, and grade alone does not establish price or import eligibility.
Product form, variety, fresh or processing use, grade and inspection basis, size or count, maturity and firmness, defects and condition, treatment and plant-health evidence, packaging, cold-chain condition, origin, quantity, currency, Incoterm, destination, delivery window and evidence date.
