Happy New Year
I hope you all had a fantastic holiday and wish you a happy new year.
Here in sunny Miami, Florida we celebrated a special milestone for Anderson Exports as we enter 2022. Anderson Exports has now been in business for over 5 years; with millions of pounds of product shipped, millions of dollars in sales, 18 countries served, and 108 successfully delivered contracts.
We are so happy to be working with you all and look forward to expanding our business across the globe in 2022.
Anderson Exports has exported a total of approximately 11 million pounds (11,000,000 lbs) of dried fruits and tree nuts over the past few years, totaling some USD $14,000,000 in sales.
The APEC Region makes up the lion’s share, some 65% of total aggregate export shipments, for Anderson Exports in the past 5 years. Turkey has made up the single largest country by export volume for Anderson Exports’ products. Malaysia, South Korea, and the Philippines have made up 2nd, 3rd, and 4th destination countries by total volume with a big surprise from Algeria to round out the top 5 export destinations for us since starting back in December of 2016.
Almonds
California Almonds saw their highest total annual Export Shipments in 2021 than in any year in history. 2022 by comparison is off to a more moderate start, more inline with previous years, if not below normal expectations. It is hard to see how significant effects on US Almond Exports from the freight / supply chain issues affecting many other products in 2021 were for the industry.
Prices are likely to reflect the available volume for shipment this year with most sellers pricing their inventory based closely on shipment reports.
Our most popular almond varieties are Nonpareil, Independence, Butte / Padre, and Carmel types with the most popular grades of Supreme, Extra, Standard 5%, and more.
Cranberries
The cranberry harvest in North America was lower than average, down some 30%+. All dried cranberry processors are in the process of figuring out 2022 pricing and a plan for allocation. With this low level of expected inventory, most will be offering to their long term buyers first.
Walnuts
We work with the best California walnut packers to supply our customers with Jumbo and Jumbo / Large (J/L) in-shell Chandler, Howard, Hartley, Vina, Tulare, Serr and other varieties. We also provide bleached in-shell walnuts in addition to California shelled product including Chandler and non-Chandler Light Halves & Pieces (LHP) 20%, 40%, 80% and higher based on customer requirements. We also supply Combo Halves and Pieces (CHP) and Light Sorted Pieces (LSP).
