USA

The 2024 USA FCV crop size is expected to be around 133 million kilos. June's drought has negatively impacted all growing regions. Harvesting has begun in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, with approximately 50% of the crop topped. The dry weather has affected crop size and quality, especially on the lower stalks. Belt-wide rain is needed to help the upper stalks mature.

The USA Burley crop size is estimated to be 29 million kilos in 2024.
