Hazels in Oregon, USA have been harvested, and the entire harvest period
will last from the end of September to the end of October.
Oregon is the main producing area of hazels in the US. But the predicted
output will be lower than that in the previous year. USDA released
investigation results earlier. The unshelled hazel output in Oregon is 44000t,
but the predicted output in this year is 36000t.
However, specific data can be acquired by the end of November.
Hazels output is featured in alternative harvest years. Good harvest was
gained in 2016 and worse harvest will be in this year. Back to 1992, the hazel
output in Oregon has not gained growth in two years in a row. Major varieties, Barcelona and Ennis, gained good harvest. The output growth is difficult to reach this
year.
The market price of hazels in Oregon is about $1.40-$1.55 per pound this Spring, and the price this year will be higher.
