Almond Oil Market Challenges
A strong dependence of raw material on one region poses itself as a significant risk.
Almond’s production and supply are coupled in the hands of the USA. California almonds supply up to 80% of raw almonds to various end-users and producers. Hence, according to economics- if the supply is reliant on one’s region produce- the price anomalies would rarely favor the end-users. As per our analysis, whenever the overall “export” value globally has gone down, the USA exports also took a deep hit. The vice-versa also stands true. For example, in 2017, the export tons value was-> 328,756 of which the US provided 219,615 tons. In the year 2018, the exports shrunk -> 309,399 tons and the US also had a lower export output of 204,411 tons. Owing to such high correlation, the end-user industry such as almond oil would experience extreme price differences thereby hampering consumer sentiments and buying behavior.
