Prune trade begins with variety and product form—not a generic dried-fruit label. Fresh prune-type plums, dried or dehydrated prunes, canned dried prunes, prune juice and prune concentrate can follow different moisture, count, size, pit, grade, processing and packaging requirements. Comparable offers require variety, product form, grade and inspection basis, moisture, count or size, pitted or unpitted style, defects, treatment, pack, origin, quantity, currency, Incoterm, destination, delivery window and information vintage.
The figures below are USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service estimates for California's 2025 prune crop, published in May 2026. They are dated domestic crop measures—not global trade totals, a current physical offer or a live delivered price.
A prune lot can be traded as dried whole fruit, dehydrated fruit, canned dried fruit, juice, concentrate or another processed form. Pitted and unpitted styles, added ingredients, rehydration, treatment and pack format change the commercial object. Atlas keeps variety, product form, processing method, style and intended use explicit before comparing lots or evidence.
USDA AMS dried-prune standards distinguish grades using size or count, moisture, uniformity, cleanliness and tolerances for defects. Dehydrated and canned products have their own standards and inspection context. A physical record preserves the exact standard, variety, product form, moisture, count or size, pitted status, defects, treatment, ingredients, packaging, net weight, inspection point, storage history and arrival condition.
USDA NASS estimated 73,210 short tons of utilized California prune production in 2025, from 35,000 bearing acres at an average yield of 2.10 tons per acre. These dated measures describe one domestic crop. A delivered price still requires the exact variety, product form, grade, moisture, count, style, pack, origin, destination, Incoterm, delivery window and current physical evidence.
No. Fresh fruit and dried, dehydrated, canned or juice products have different moisture, count, processing, grade, condition, packaging and storage requirements.
It is USDA NASS's estimate of utilized California prune production for the 2025 crop year. It is a dated domestic crop measure, not global production and not a current physical price.
They distinguish commercial quality using factors such as moisture, cleanliness, size or count, uniformity and tolerances for defects. Dehydrated and canned dried prunes have separate standards.
Variety, product form, grade and inspection basis, moisture, count or size, pitted or unpitted style, defects and condition, treatment, ingredients, packaging and net weight, origin, quantity, currency, Incoterm, destination, delivery window and evidence date.
