India: Tree Nuts Annual
Indian almond imports during marketing year (MY) 2014/15 are forecast to decline to 58,000 metric tons (MT) (shelled basis) due to higher market prices and the weak rupee. India imported 63,510 MT of almonds in MY 2013/14, which was eight percent below previous year. Indian walnut production is forecast at 38,000 MT (inshell basis), a 12-percent decrease from the previous year. Walnut imports could increase given lower local production and increasing consumption.
