Recently, the Georgia pecan yield forecast is released in 2017. With the conclusion of the harvest of the Georgia pecan in 2017, it’s expected that the yield in this year is between 90 and 100 million pounds, which continues to maintain the number one in America!

The pecan of Desirable variety is growing well this year and is the most popular varieties of pecans in Georgia State due to its big size. Although it is very susceptible to gibberellic disease, planters have effectively controlled the gibberellic disease this year, thus the pecan yield of Desirable variety is high.

The pecan yield of Stuart variety is normal this year. As a result, the yield will be very high next year. As long as the continuous impact of the hurricane is no longer expanding next year, the overall yield is very optimistic.
Georgia State is the producing area which has the highest pecan yield in America, with 160,000 acres of planting area in 2016. The Department of Agricultural Economics Development at the University of Georgia estimates that the imputed value of pecans output by the Georgia State in 2016 is USD 356 million.
