California almond production is facing challenges due to oversupply and declining prices. The market has been flooded with almonds for many years, coupled with international shipping issues during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to excessive stockpiling. As a result, prices have been on the decline since 2014, reaching a record low in 2022, causing financial difficulties for many almond growers.
Despite the challenges, there are signs of improvement in the almond industry. Almond acreage has dropped for the first time in decades, overseas shipments are recovering, and inventory for some almond varieties is depleting. These positive developments indicate a potential turnaround in the almond market.
