Not all areas have suitable conditions for commercial production, which means that the industry is quite limited as to the number of states producing blueberries and actually to certain areas within these states. The states most actively engaged in the commercial production of this fruit are New Jersey, Michigan, North Carolina, Massachusetts and Washington. However, there are other states, particularly along the eastern seaboard, where limited acreage has been planted. In 1943 the estimated value of the cultivated crop was $1,525,000, with an additional $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 from wild plants receiving very little care. The value of the cultivated crop has increased considerably since that time and rather rapid commercial expansion is still under way.
