Exports to Asia Up 70%
Pecans had seen a meteoric rise until April of 2018 when exports of US pecans to China plummeted to levels not seen since 2006-2007. We recently did some research on pecan exports to China and the data is clear. Pecan exports to China began to see activity in the fall of 2006 and by December 2007 was beginning to see a steady rise of exports.
Increased growth to China continued until April of 2018 when the tariffs began, and continued to increase rapidly as the Chinese and US governments escalated trade tariffs in a blow for blow economic battle.
A trade deal called “phase one” was finally implemented and offered concessions to reduce trade tariffs on certain US products and commodities and pecans made the list. With the available reduction in tariffs, US pecans have again become affordable for nut roaster and processors to purchase and retail to Chinese consumers.
