Increased global interest will keep pine nut supplies short in 2010/11 Tuesday May 25 2010 FOLLOWING historically high prices of pine nuts seen in the 2009/10 season, of up to €25,000 ($31,047) to €26,000 per tonne, supply will still be short and prices stable going into the new crop, according to the pine nuts working group of the International Nut and Dried Fruit Council (INC), headed by Cheng Hung Kay, of CHK trading. The total supply for 2010/11 is estimated at 19,740 tonnes, a marginal increase on the 19,330 tonnes available last year. Comment by Penny - A grain of salt on production rates @ 19,740 - I believe that is INC folks, rather than global. I don't think all the Russian folks buy into the group. Regardless, those folks that are currently paying UNI $35.00 lb won't see any major price break for 2010/ 2011. There also the risk of pine nut mouth. We have pine nut contracts available *US Production - $10.00 per pound, 1,000 lb minium order - comes with FREE PINE NUT SHELLER. There are 17 spots left out of the 25 available places. Delivery starts early / mid October.
