Abstract: Excerpts from the report: Total per capita fruit consumption in 1974 reached 203.9 pounds (fresh weight equivalent) the highest level since 1948. This level was 5 pounds or nearly 3 percent above 1973. Per capita consumption of all fresh fruit increased from 75.6 to 78.0 pounds between 1973 and 1974 with many fruit sharing in the increase. Per capita processed fruit consumption showed a slight increase from 123.3 pounds in 1973 to 125.9 during 1974. Detailed data regarding per capita consumption of individual fresh and processed fruit for the 1950 to 1974 period may be found in tables 17 through 23.
