The South
African macadamia nuts have currently arrived at European and Asian market
successively. The overall quality of South African macadamia nuts is lower than
that in the previous year. Due to little precipitation during growth period,
the unshelled macadamia nut size is smaller than usual.
According
to prediction in the beginning of the year, the output of South African
macadamia nuts will be 43000t. However, the output will be reduced to 39000t by
prediction based on that in previous months. The
current market output is predicted at 36000-39000t.
