- California is estimated to see a 30% increase of Bartlett volume this year compared to 2024
- California suppliers ship 40-pound packs; Washington suppliers ship 44-pound cartons
- Due to this pack difference, California ships approximately six to 10 fewer pieces of fruit per unit compared to Washington
