Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of Sun-Drying Fruit
From the large-non-bearing acreages given in Table 2, to which should be added extensive plantings made in 1925, it is evident that the production of dried fruits must inevitably increase. If fresh shipment and canning do not keep pace with the increasing production, it may become necessary to dry a greater proportion of the fruit crop than formerly. The production of dried fruits is also expanding in other parts of the world, notably Australia and South Africa. At present, the rate of financial exchange and other condi tions resulting from the world war seriously restrict exports of dried fruits from the United States and moreover permit the importation of certain dried fruits from the Mediterranean countries. The amount of dried fruit exports and imports in 1923 can be seen from Table 3.
