US Exports, Imports of Fresh Carrots Trade Trends

By Mark Wocial, Certified Global Business Professional, Wocial & Associates LLC

T

he U.S. Census Bureau International Trade Statistics make a distinction between not-certified organic and certified organic fresh or chilled carrots for export purposes. Total U.S. exports of fresh or chilled carrots remained unchanged in the past two years at 102,000 metric tons (MT), valued at $118 million. Exports included approximately 25,000 MT certified organic carrots, valued at $34 million, which represented 29 percent of fresh carrot exports by value and 25 percent by volume.

Canada is the largest export market for fresh carrots. Last year, exports of not-certified organic carrots to Canada amounted to almost 70,000 MT, valued at $76 million. While exports of not-certified organic carrots declined in the past two years, exports of certified organic carrots remained unchanged. Last year, shipments of certified organic carrots to Canada reached over 20,000 MT, valued at $27 million.

Mexico is the second largest export market for fresh carrots. In 2020, shipments of not-certified organic carrots amounted to 4,500 MT. Shipments of certified organic carrots increased significantly compared to the previous year and reached 4,300 MT. Last year, other countries among the top 10 of U.S. export destinations for notcertified organic fresh carrots included St. Lucia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Bahamas, Barbados, Israel, Panama and the United Arab Emirates. Brazil was the third largest export market for certified organic fresh carrots, after Canada and Mexico.

The U.S. Census Bureau International Trade Statistics do not make a distinction between not-certified organic and certified organic carrots for import purposes.

Imports of fresh carrots fell from 228,000 MT in 2019 to 212,000 MT in 2020, valued at $103 million.

Canada and Mexico are the largest suppliers of fresh carrots to the U.S. Imports from Canada increased from 96,000 MT in 2019 to over 103,000 MT in 2020, valued at $49 million. Imports from Mexico decreased from over 108,000 MT in 2019 to 91,000 MT in 2020, valued at $41 million.

Imports from several other countries also declined. Last year, the U.S. imported 13,000 MT from Israel, 2,900 MT from Guatemala and 1,400 MT from Costa Rica.

Manage the Damage

Integrated Approach to Manage Nematode Damage in Carrot Production

By Sita Thapa, Elisabeth Darling and Marisol Quintanilla, Michigan State University

N

ematodes can cause both quantitative and qualitative yield loss for carrot growers. For example, a 2016 survey of carrot growers revealed that, on average, 25 percent of annual yield suffers from quality issues attributed to nematode damage in infested fields. Quality issues are especially severe for fresh market carrots, where forking and stubbing render the product unmarketable. Damage to root crops can be detected as early as 21 days after planting. These losses occur when an injury from nematodes such as root lesion (Pratylenchus penetrans) and northern root-knot (Meloidogyne hapla) results in forked or stubbed carrots.

Historically, carrot growers have associated severe plant-parasitic nematode damage with the root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) and, in some cases, the carrot cyst nematode (Heterodera carotae). However, more recently, the root lesion nematode (RLN) has become more prevalent in carrot fields with mineral soils. The economic threshold for RLN is 50-100 nematodes per 100cc of soil.

Infection from threshold levels of RLN results in the production of unmarketable characteristics, such as hairy, stubby and forked carrots (Fig. 1).

For nematodes like the northern root-knot nematode (NRKN) and the carrot cyst nematode, the best strategy is avoidance. Fields with infestations of the root lesion nematode will typically produce desirable yields so long as populations are kept below the threshold. It is critical that growers obtain nematode numbers prior to planting to avoid yield and quality loss from these nematodes.

benefits including: 1) they are cold-season species and could be planted from late summer to early fall (July to September), 2) they are killed by frost and most of the residue is decomposed before crop planting in the spring, and 3) they may reduce nematode pressure by being a poor or non-host.

We evaluated the host status of several OSR and grass cover crops for NRKN and RLN. Our results showed OSR cultivars such as Control, Concorde and Select, as well as Dwarf Essex Rape, are poor hosts of RLN (Fig. 2). For NRKN, in addition to the OSR cultivars Control, Concorde and Select, grasses like Sudan grass, oats and wheat are poor hosts, too (Fig. 3).

We have greenhouse trials going on for NRKN management using selected cover crops screened through host evaluation in growth chambers.

Chemical Approach

When nematode populations are above the threshold level, chemical management might be one option to consider. Typical conventional management strategies involve in-furrow or soil drench applications during planting. Due to recent increasing regulations on fumigants and toxic products, growers are seeking a

These carrots were pulled from the untreated control plots in our 2020 nematicide field trial. Root lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus penetrans) feeding on a carrot disc under laboratory conditions are seen in photo B.

Non-Chemical Approach

A good cover crop for the management of plant-parasitic nematodes should be a poor host for nematodes and should lower the nematode population. In Michigan, growers are experimenting with brassica cover crops like oilseed radish (OSR), mustard and rapeseed because of several 10

reliable method of control for root lesion nematodes. Within the past few decades, an increasing number of conventional and organic nematicides have been released. Seeking alternative products for management is a great step; however, products need to be evaluated for efficacy in comparison to the existing grower standard (oxamyl).

In 2020, our laboratory conducted a carrot field trial in Oceana County, Michigan, to evaluate alternative nematicides against above-threshold root lesion nematode infestations. The trial included 10 nematicidal products applied at carrot planting and one untreated control, each with five replicates.

Overall, three products stood out for reducing root lesion nematode

populations: Promax (thyme oil from Huma Gro), TerraStart (hydrogen peroxide/peroxyacetic acid from BioSafe Systems) and Velum (fluopyram from Bayer) within the first 30 days of seedling growth. Plots applied with these products correspondingly produced higher yields than untreated control plots (Fig. 4; Tukey’s HSD, P<0.1). Velum also reduced the weight of stubby carrots when compared to the untreated control. We aim to further evaluate these products in a controlled greenhouse setting in 2021 and repeat the field trial in 2022 with an increased number of replicates.

Authors’ note: We would like to acknowledge USDA NIFA and Michigan Carrot Committee for funding.

Figure 3. Average northern root-knot nematode eggs count from roots on different cover crops after growth chamber host evaluation. A lower egg count indicates poor host status and therefore would Figure 3.

A lower egg count indicates poor host status and therefore would be a good cover crop for nematode control.

Recommendations to Growers • Test soil in order to know the nematodes you have in your field. Universities have plant diagnostic labs/ plant clinics and can help in nematode identification Michigan growers can send their soil to the Michigan State University plant diagnostic lab Details can be found at www.canr.msu.edu/pestid.

• The selection of cover crops should be specific for the type of nematode you have in your field.

For example, if you have northern root-knot nematode in your carrot field, oilseed radish cultivars such as Control, Concorde and Select and grasses like Sudan grass, oat and wheat will reduce northern root-knot nematode.

• Promax (thymol from Huma Gro), TerraStart (hydrogen peroxide/acetic acid from BioSafe Systems) and Velum (fluopyram from Bayer) look promising to manage root lesion nematode in our trial.

• An integrated management approach using both chemicals and cover crops can produce better nematode control in carrot production.

Tong Invests in New Facility

Tong Engineering has invested in new powder-coating and shot-blasting systems at its new manufacturing plant in Spilsby, England. The new shot-blasting unit uses a powerful technique to clean the surface of metal and create a quality finish to allow for optimum adhesion of paint.

The steel preparation process is the first stage of a three-part paint system at Tong, in which metal is first shot blasted, followed by the application of a durable rust-inhibiting primer and then finished with a premium quality topcoat, before it is cured at high temperatures.

The new equipment is designed to increase efficiency in the manufacturing plant and improve paint durability and finish of Tong equipment, according to the company.
