ALMOND MARKET UPDATE
Blue Diamond Almond Market Report — November 14, 2025
OVERVIEW For the third month of the crop year, industry shipments totaled 249.2 million pounds, reflecting a 26% increase from last month, though 3.6% lower than the same period last year. Exports reached 201 million pounds, marking a 36% increase from last month, and a 5.2% increase compared to last year. This indicates continued strength in the international marketplace. Domestic shipments reached 48.2 million pounds, a 2.7% decrease from last month and were down 28.5% versus the prior year. While overall October shipments came in slightly below market expectations, driven primarily by softness in domestic demand, the export sector continues to show resilience. Forward momentum is expected to persist as global markets move to replenish inventories ahead of the expected holiday consumption and early-year buying cycles.
SHIPMENTS India:
October shipments totaled 28.3 million pounds, nearly even with the prior month and down 4% from the prior year. The year-to-date gap is currently at 29%, with total shipments at 72.8 million pounds, compared to 102.1 million pounds at this time last year. October’s inshell shipments show that India is still hesitant to book at California origin prices as uncommitted cargo shipped from California continues to suppress the local market pricing and sentiment. The market remains under-covered, and the timing and scale of further Indian buying will be a key driver for pricing into the end of the year.
