From the perspective of the global Australian macadamia shell production, the Australian macadamia production in South Africa and Australia decreased in 2020 compared with 2019. Shell supply in South Africa in 2019 was 18,900t, while in 2020 it was 15,840t; Australia’s shell fruit supply was 13,000t in 2019 and 12,600t in 2020; Compared with 2019, yield of shell and fruit in China and Kenya increased in 2020, and was less affected by climate.
In 2020, due to the outbreak of the epidemic, the hotel and retail industrys were initially impacted, the market lost confidence, and the short positions in the market increased. Although the epidemic was controlled and the situation improved, the international continuous blockade measures were still worrying. Some ports were temporarily shut down, and there was a shortage of refrigerated containers in some areas.
But after this epidemic, people will pay more attention to healthy eating and keeping healthy for a long time, and undoubtedly Australian macadamias have certain advantages.
