From the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service, Fruit and Tree Nuts Outlook: September 2018: “Production is forecast to increase for several major fruit crops in 2018/19, which will put pressure on prices. Increases in major tree nut crops—almonds and walnuts—are forecast to break new records in 2018/19, potentially easing prices… [A]t the same time, walnut and hazelnut outputs are also anticipated to reach new highs. Downward pressure on almond grower prices due to a larger crop may be eased by lower-than-average beginning stocks. Meanwhile, walnut grower prices will likely receive additional downward pressure from higher-than-average carryover supplies. Almonds and walnuts are produced almost totally in California, while hazelnut production is centered in Oregon.”
