Year-to-date almond shipments reached 673.3 million pounds, up 11.4%, with domestic new sales up 17.6% and India shipments strong at 52.3 million pounds. Export kernel demand lags last year by 15.6%, and receipts rose 11.7% as harvest processing moves toward remaining stockpiles.
Demand is mixed, with firmer domestic and Indian buying offset by weaker exports and Spanish competition. Pollinizer underperformance and smaller kernels point to a tighter crop later in the season, which is mildly supportive for almond prices. Almonds are not in the feed commodity list, so the direct impact on feed buyers is limited.
