United States blueberry crop estimate. You can see Florida blueberry production is a very small amount of the total US production. It is estimated the US will produce 433 million pounds of highbush blueberries and 236 million pounds of lowbush. Of the 433 million pounds of highbush 60% will be sold for fresh and 40% process. total US per capita consumption of highbush blueberries is approximately 26 ounces per person, almost 4 ounces more than the previous year. This is very good news in tough economic times.
