U.S. Tree Nut Exports Reach Record Levels, Easing Oversupply Burden CoBankApril 14, 2021 GMT DENVER, April 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- California tree nut growers harvested record crops of almonds, walnuts and pistachios in 2020, following a year of ideal growing conditions on expanded bearing acreage. The abundance of supply led to lower tree nut prices which, combined with a weaker U.S. dollar, have pushed exports to record high volumes. The surge in exports comes despite ongoing retaliatory tariffs in importing countries like China and India and complicated shipping logistics.
