China: Tree Nuts Annual 2017
Post forecasts China’s MY 2017/18 in-shell walnut production at 1 million MT, down more than 5 percent on a yearly basis, as frost and drought will reduce production in the key growing areas of Yunnan and Shanxi provinces. Almond production (shelled basis) is forecast at 43,000 MT, up nearly 8 percent from the previous year. China will likely import fewer pistachios as a result of reduced supplies in the United States. Almond and walnut imports are expected to continue rebounding given declining world prices.
