Objective Forecasts

USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) produces crop forecasts for the California almond industry which are released annually on the dates noted in the calendar of events. Objective reports highlight forecasts later in the growing season, close to harvest. These forecasts can then be compared to actual production and trade statistics in the form of Almond Board monthly position reports and tabulated annually in the Almond Almanac - both which can be accessed on the Almond Board Crop Reports page.
