U.S. YOGURT YIELD AT 912.4 MILLION POUNDS

Last year, according to the new figures, about 912.4 million pounds of plain and fruit-flavored yogurt were produced in the United States, the Agriculture Department said.

In addition to the regular yogurt, about 66.3 million gallons of frozen yogurt and 44.2 million gallons of frozen yogurt mix were produced in 1989.

By comparison, last year's ice cream production was 831 million gallons, down 6 percent from 1988. Ice milk, at 377 million gallons, was up 6 percent, and milk sherbet was unchanged at 52.2 million gallons.
