The USDA Cold Storage report in January showed that frozen strawberry inventory was up a combined thirty million pounds from this same time last year. The input volume in California increased by sixty million pounds in 2015 over 2014, and the import volume increased by more than thirty million pounds, but only thirty million pounds remained extra in inventory above 2014 levels. For most categories the current inventory position is still below the five year average. Consumption appears to remain strong for frozen strawberries.
