CA Nut Exporters Report Robust Export Trade
Despite reports that ocean carriers have been rebuffing containers carrying California’s agricultural exports, tree nut exporters in California enjoyed robust export trade in December. The California Almond Board reported a 32.1% year-over-year jump in overseas shipments of almonds, the state’s leading agricultural export.
Similarly, the California Walnut Board reported a 22.6% bump in December from the same month one year earlier. Likewise, pistachio exports in December were at the highest level in the past four years, up more than 126% from one year earlier. Tree nut exports through the Port of Oakland were up 36.4%t from December 2019.
The U.S. Census Bureau numbers were consistent with reports from the state’s three major seaports that show containerized exports in December were down just 1% from the same month one year earlier. However, export tonnage from Los Angeles International Airport in that month was up by 14.43% from one year earlier. Airborne shipments account for nearly half of all California’s merchandise export trade.
