    "Almonds are China's second-biggest import from California farms. In 2016, China took 12 percent of California's almond crop, which was valued at about $518 million.

    I wouldn't get too excited about big price rises for Aussie almond producers.  The direction of trade may change (inefficiently) while wary intermediaries will pencil in higher margins to cover uncertainty and risk.

    SHV makes a quality product and can sell all it produces.  It's main task is to focus on internal improvements and tree planting.
