The United States has maintained its position as the world leader in blueberry production in 2023, with cultivation spanning 38 states in four major geographic regions: the Pacific Northwest, South, Midwest and Northeast. In particular, 10 states account for more than 98% of commercially produced blueberries in the United States: California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon and Washington.
According to the report, the United States produced 322,595 tons of blueberries, similar to the level of 2022. The report predicts a potential increase in production by 2024, although specific figures may be subject to revision based on various factors, including weather conditions.
