North Carolina’s local and regional food system includes the production of apples, blackberries, blueberries, figs, kiwifruit, muscadine grapes, pecans, peaches, nectarines, raspberries, and strawberries. Through the NC State Extension program fruit specialists and agents provide research-based information, educational programs, and developments throughout the state regarding the production of small fruits, tree fruits, and niche crops.
The primary goals are to add value, enhance profitability, management strategies through local production and marketing for homeowners, fruit producers, and the processing industry. Successful fruit growth is highly dependent on practicing proper production techniques, soil nutrition, pest and disease management, training, and pruning. Through NC State University research, many new horticultural crops have been introduced or developed with genetic resistance to pests, disease, heat tolerance, drought, and freeze damage.
