INTRODUCTION

Domestic demand for almonds has constantly in¬creased in India. Expected to increased by 5.6 per¬cent to 56,000 ton in 2010/11 and by 5 percent to 58,000 ton in 2011/12 according to Tree Nuts 2010 GAIN Report, India is almost a net importer of almonds with only 2% of domestic demand be¬ing grown in country. The domestic demand is being feed with imports mainly from the US, account¬ing for 74% of total imports. 

EU has the second largest consumption of al¬monds per capita of 0.5kg after US. Imports were valued at 893 million Euro in 2009-10 with US holding a strong supplying position accounting for 60% of imports while industry while the rest is mostly consumed as snacks. EU has the second largest consumption of almonds per capita of 0.5kg after US. Imports were valued at 893 million Euro in 2009-10 with US holding a strong supply¬ing position accounting for 60% of imports while  around 30% come from intra EU imports. Main importers are Germany (26% of EU almond im¬ports), Spain (20%), France (11%) and Italy (10%) (The Eligible Nuts and Dried Fruits Market in the EU, 2010), CBI). 

Prices in the European Markets will usually fol¬low trends on the world market price which are closely linked to supply and demand, being strongly affected by main suppliers such as US. The table above shows the export price compo-sition by component for the domestic almonds to enter the European market, compared to CIF prices from US suppliers as reported in European ports. One of the specifics of this market are the low tariff barriers to trade, especially in the case of almonds from Afghanistan, where no import tariffs are applied. The export price is leveled from higher transport costs than to India.
