Good Outlook for Spain’s Crop of Jordan and Valencia Almonds.

From all available reliable sources it is believed that Spain’s 1921 crop of Jordan almonds, which are grown only in the Provinces of Malaga, Jaen, Granada, and Almeria, will be about equal to last year’s production, reports the American consul at Malaga. Various exporters place the crop from 70,000 to 75,000 boxes of 25 lbs. each.

The crop is somewhat delayed because of the late spring, but the quality is good. Since all stocks of this variety have been exhausted for some time, the demand is active, and opening prices f. o. b. Malaga are expected to be considerably higher than last year. However, this should make but little difference to the buyers in the United States, as they will benefit by the decrease in the exchange value of the peseta.

The general opinion seems to be that this year’s crop of Valencia almonds will exceed last year’s production by 15% to 20%. Inasmuch as these almonds are grown in various parts of Spain and often shipped to Malaga for export, it is difficult to give exact figures. Prices of Valencia almonds are regulated by quotations from Italy, but Spanish farmers in the Malaga district are expecting good prices on account of the small stocks carried over.

The following table gives the total exports of shelled almonds from Malaga, Spain, to all countries and to the United States during the past five years:
