Core Tip: The 2025 U.S. Fruit and Tree Nut Outlook Report recently released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows that due to the impact of Hurricane Helene, the production of Georgia, the largest pecan producing area, is expected to decrease by 8% compared with the forecast in October last year, and the production of the other four states has also declined. In the first four months of the 2024/25 season, both the import and export of U.S. pecans declined, with the export volume of shelled nuts falling by 70% year-on-year and the export volume of kernels falling by 6%, but the unit price rose by 6%.

Core Tip: The 2025 U.S. Fruit and Tree Nut Outlook Report released recently by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows that according to data from the American Pistachio Council (ACP), the total U.S. pistachio production in the 2024/25 season (September to August of the following year) is expected to be 1.1 billion pounds (shelled fruit). The production in the 2024/25 season may rank third in history, second only to the 2023/24 season and the 2021/22 season. The production this season is 26% lower than the previous season, reflecting the characteristics of a small year. Although the accumulation of low temperature periods in winter is insufficient and the summer temperature is higher than usual, the yield is still comparable to other small years in the past decade.

Core Tip: The recent "Tree Nuts Global Market and Trade" report released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows that global pistachio production is expected to increase by 7% to 1.2 million tons in the 2024/25 season, as the growth of pistachio production in Turkey, Iran and Syria exceeds the reduction in production in the United States. Benefiting from the increase in supply, global consumption is expected to increase by 6% to 1.1 million tons, and the rest will be transferred to the end-of-period inventory. Due to the reduction in supply from the largest exporter, the United States, global exports are expected to fall by 2% to 622,000 tons.
