Market Demand — Plum
Global consumption & trade · FAO 2010–2023Is Plum viable in Ventura?
Plum is well suited to Ventura: growing-season temperatures (~20.9°C) and rainfall (~565 mm) fall within its 14–24°C range. Plum (Fruits & Stimulants, perennial) performs best around 14 - 24 °C with a seasonal water requirement of 600 mm / season. Run a coordinate-level audit for mapped field-level estimates and local risk context.
Growing Plum in Ventura: what to expect
Rainfall in Ventura (~565 mm/yr) roughly matches Plum's ~600 mm need, so a normal year needs little supplemental water. Plant Plum in early spring once the risk of hard frost has passed in Ventura.
