Almond industry may be turning a corner.
The almond industry may be turning a corner. Prices have increased and appear to be holding at near break-even levels. Anecdotal reports suggest the crop will come in closer to 2.7 billion pounds opposed to the 2.8 billion forecasted. Lower supply should continue to support prices. India’s demand for inshell almonds increased in December. Year-to-date exports to India remain notably below the five-year average, suggesting increased buying could continue as the marketing season progresses. There are emerging reports of pest damage leading to browning and reduced yields in Kern County, but the full extent is not yet known.
Pistachio prices continue to hold flat and anecdotal reports suggest the crop is slightly smaller than forecasted. Shipments to retailers are down year over year, likely the result of a smaller crop rather than weak markets.

Almonds: Slightly unprofitable - Bullish 12-month outlook
Pistachios: Slightly profitable - Neutral 12-month outlook
Almond prices have strengthened and this should continue due to strong domestic and export demand.
The 2024 crop is down from last season and with minimal inventory carry-over and strong demand. Prices should continue to improve and support profitability.
