USDA expects China's macadamia output to expand as plantings mature

China’s macadamia production is expected to expand as additional planted acreage reaches maturity, according to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service’s Beijing office. The agency published its Tree Nuts Annual summary on 5 October.

For buyers, the distinction is between a projected supply change and a completed harvest. The summary does not give a macadamia tonnage, moisture or product basis, or a measured crop result. It cannot support a like-for-like comparison with in-shell or kernel figures elsewhere.

This is an attributed official forecast, not a price or demand forecast. The full report could not be retrieved for this review, so no underlying tables or methodology are presented here.
