Factors Affecting Shelled Walnut Prices

Walnuts are an excellent source of protein, fiber, and essential fatty acids, making them a perfect addition to any healthy diet. The price of shelled walnuts can be influenced by several factors, including the type of nuts, the size of the crop, and global demand.

The type of nut can affect the price of shelled walnuts. For example, California produces 99 percent of the world's English walnuts, while Oregon is responsible for most of the country's French filbert production. Because English walnuts are more common, they typically sell for a lower price than French filberts.

The size of the crop can also influence the price of shelled walnuts. When there is a large harvest, prices tend to be lower than when supplies are limited. This is because growers can afford to sell their nuts at a discount when there is an abundance of them available.

Finally, global demand can also impact the price of shelled walnuts in the United States. When there is high demand from other countries, growers may be able to charge more for their nuts. Conversely, if global demand is low, prices may drop in order to encourage sales.

The price of shelled walnuts in the United States has been on the rise in recent years, due to a number of factors. The most significant factor is the increasing demand for walnuts, both from domestic consumers and from international markets. This demand has driven up prices for raw nuts, which in turn has led to higher prices for shelled walnuts. Additionally, the cost of labor and transportation has also risen in recent years, further contributing to the higher price of shelled walnuts.
