The results of this years subjective crop estimate were published today. This is a telephone survey of a few hundred almond growers asking their estimate of crop size. The resulting estimate for this year’s crop is 2 billion pounds of almond meats (shelled nuts). The survey is conducted by the National Agricultural Statistics Service. If the estimate is correct, that would put the crop at slightly less that last years production of 2.03 billion pounds. Last year the subjective estimate was 1.75 billion pounds, so the growers underestimated last years crop. Judging from what I see in my little part of the world, I think the crop will be higher than the estimate once again.
