The overwhelming majority of the country's peaches are grown here, for sales of $308.3 million. Since 1980 the total value of the harvest has been slightly increasing. The acreage (hectares) planted in peach has been declining however, down to .[5]

Economics

cling deliveries for processing purposes have been on a downward trend for years.[7] From in 2010, delivered tonnage declined to in 2021. Cling yield shows no clear trend over the same time, bouncing between and .

Prices have been trending mostly upward, from in 2012 to .

CCPA expects 2022 deliveries to be between from a yield of .

Breeding of peach

UCD hosts one of the major breeding programs in the country.[8] Most of the private breeding programs for peach in the country are found in California, with a significant amount of the public breeding also being performed here but also elsewhere in the country.
