The almond production forecasts in Spain have been reduced due to drought and heat waves, with potential decreases of up to 15% in some dry areas. This is causing problems as the current prices are not covering production costs. The agricultural organizations have revised their production estimates, which were based on lower international stock levels, due to the drought's impact. The almond campaign has already started in several areas, but the lack of rain is leading to an irregular development of the almonds. The industry is asking for prices to increase to cover production costs and comply with the Food Chain Law. In recent years, there has been a decrease in the last almond campaign's production compared to previous campaigns, and almond imports have increased.
