Fruit production adds to the local and state economy, and diversifies the agriculture of the state. Peaches, pecans and grapes represent the greatest acreage and cash value of specialty fruit crops in Arkansas.
Production of the major specialty fruits has increased in recent years, due to greater interest in locally grown produce and food safety. Most fruit grown in Arkansas is marketed and sold within the state. Each of the crops has its own specialized pest management needs.
