Overview
Vegetables and Pulses Data provides users with comprehensive statistics on fresh and processed vegetables and dry pulses in the United States, as well as some global data for these sectors. It integrates data from the ERS market outlook program with data collected by different Federal and international statistical agencies to facilitate analyses of economic performance over time, and across domestic and foreign markets. Currently, data are located in the following inter-related products:

• Data by Commodity  provides current import and export data for more than 40 individual fresh and processed vegetable and pulse commodities on a marketing-year basis.
• Yearbook Tables (in Excel and PDF) contain a time series of the annual per capita supply and use data for fresh and processed vegetables and for dry pulse crops. Included are U.S. production, exports, imports, per capita utilization, and prices.
• Outlook Tables (in Excel and PDF) contain limited historical (through April 2013) monthly and quarterly data for vegetable and pulses trade and cash receipts, as well as data on fresh vegetables, processed vegetables, potatoes, and dry pulses (dry edible beans and dry peas and lentils).
