The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has said that the 2010 Californian walnut yield is expected to come in at 510,000 short tons – 17 percent more than last year’s crop and double the 2000 harvest.
The estimate is due to be confirmed in February 2011.
California Walnut Board member Jack Mariani said: "This has been an excellent growing year — a nice wet winter and trees were strong and healthy. This estimated record crop along with the shortest carry-ins on record and vigorous consumer demand will help grow the industry."
