The USDA has revised its estimates for the 2022/2023 almond production forecast, projecting a 10% decrease to 1.5 million tons without shells due to reduced harvests in the United States and the European Union. Despite the drop in production in these regions, almond exports are expected to rise by nearly 10% to a record 1.1 million tons, with the European Union and China benefiting from increased shipments from the United States and Australia. The US production is anticipated to fall by 11% to 1.2 million tons, while the European Union sees a 24% decrease to 105,000 tons, primarily due to adverse weather conditions in Spain and Italy.
