Figure 3. The white bars represent raspberries from California; the striped bars represent raspberries from Chile; the black bars represent raspberries from Guatemala; and the dotted bars represent raspberries from other sources. The dates for weeks 1 through 9 range from 31 March 1996 to 1 June 1996 and from 30 March 1997 to 31 May 1997; the last date in each week is shown under each bar. Data on Chilean raspberries were unavailable for week 1 in 1997. The median proportions of the raspberries per week that were from Guatemala were 13.8% (range, 0% to 21.9%) in 1996 and 11.0% (range, 2.8% to 18.4%) in 1997 (excluding week 1).
