As with producers of most crops, U.S. fruit and tree nut growers have faced challenges including higher input costs and logistical challenges in recent years, but according to a Rabobank report, there are positive developments for the 2023-24 season. The RaboResearch report cites a drop in input prices, a better water outlook in California and improved logistics. Tree nut prices, pushed downward due to elevated inventories, are seeing a much-needed lift, according to the report.
