Abstract: Under the Prune Marketing Order, prune producers may participate in a voluntary prune plum diversion program, when a reserve pool is implement. Under this program, prune producers can elect to divert part of their prune plum crop from normal prune or prune product marets. Because dry-away ratios are the basis for computing the dried weight equivalent of diverted fresh prune plums, and those currently established are outdated, the Prune Marketing Committee will obtain current dry-away ratios through a voluntary survey submitted by commercial prune dehydrators, when the program is implemented.
