Outlook – New York Grapes 2016/2017 Crop production expected to be up 13.8% in 2016 • Exceptional drought in the Finger Lakes and in the bond out Erie and Niagara county, almost everywhere in New York • Smaller berry size but cleaner fruit due to less disease pressure as well as sweetest crop in recent years • Late season rains increased vine health and berry size pushing the Concord crop very close to the 10-year average
Grape Prices • Price for major varieties Cabernet France, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Concord, and Riesling higher in 2016 • Price for hybrid varieties expected to be lower in 2016 Direct to consumer online sales in New York expected to grow- • Governor vetoes online liquor bill • Pennsylvania (PA) passed legislation allowing direct to consumer (DTC) shipping to PA residents
Outlook – U.S. Grapes U.S. grape production likely to increase in 2016/2017 • Primarily due to higher production in California • winter rains and a relative normal growing season help alleviate drought impacts • Expected larger grape production in Washington, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio and Taxes Domestic grower prices for some wine grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc) likely to go up due to the estimated smaller crop in 2016 in key regions
Outlook – U.S. Wine Trade Inexpensive imports keep increasing • Domestic consumption far exceeds domestic production, wine consumption in the US would grow by 11% between 2015 and 2018 • The growth of the fine wine category will slow to 9-13% from 14% in 2016 Wine exports continue growing but slowing down, • Unique quality, excellent value, and good reputation • Canada: exports expected to grow • Continental Europe: continue to grow thanks to educational and promotion effort • Japan: slow down or decrease due to the abandon of Trans-Pacific Partnership deal
Opportunities and challenges • Wine sales continue to grow, particularly, more demand for wine in $12-25 range • Premium wine sales expected to increase between 10 to 14% above 2016 level • Opportunities for cooler regions, which make good quality sparkling wines • Demographic shift will impact the wine industry, with the retiring wine-loyal baby boomers being replaced by less affluent millennials---marketing effort? • If economic conditions continue to improve, however, per capita consumption should be slightly higher in 2017. • Labor costs and labor shortage---dominant concerns

Ornamental Crops: Present and Future • A sustained growth in 2016 given it’s an election year, • A promising growth in next two or three years • However • The industry facing some uncertainty: • Demographic shifts • Structure change---consolidation and de-consolidation Source: Nursery Management’s 2015 State of the Industry Report
What’s important for growers? • Raise prices? But price right!! • Send the right message to the target consumer segment • Baby boomers retiring, generation X taking over, millennials making up the deficit • Diversify marketing strategy and use more social medial platforms • Take actions to avoid being over-leveraged • Better to have a succession plan
SWD Management and Impact on Profits Spotted Wing Drosophila (SWD) • Insect pest native to eastern Asia • Having a devastating effect on soft skinned fruits (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cherries, etc.) • U.S. crop losses due to SWD are estimated at $718 million annually • Relative performance of alternative SWD management strategies • Does it make sense to include monitoring in management strategies?
