fruit production
Growing edible harvests
Fruit production is the agricultural practice of growing fruit crops commercially, encompassing cultivation, harvesting, and processing.
The term covers everything from orchard management to yield statistics: California leads the nation in fruit production.
It also refers to the biological process by which plants generate fruit: Warm weather accelerated fruit production this season.
