Abstract: This first report of a two-part study dealing with the economics of the peach industry examines the industry's geographic structure, with special emphasis on peaches for canning. Recent trends in production, utilization, price, and consumption are analyzed for both fresh- and processing-market peaches. Interrelationships between fresh- and processing-market prices in the major producing States are investigated, and supply-price relationships for canning-market peaches are developed for each producing region and the United States. The changing pattern of consumer demand for peach products is examined, and regional consumption requirements for canned peach products are projected to 1980.
