Alan Ediger liked thisAlan Ediger liked this☕️ The Sacramento Coffee Club is alive and thriving! We had our quarterly(ish) meetup today at the new Whole Foods Market in Elk Grove, CA—but not before a quick stop at Philz Coffee to fuel up. 😴 The SCC was started by four gentlemen, all named Dave, with a simple idea: bring Sacramento-area produce people together at a new store in the region to talk a little shop, walk the produce department, and most importantly, catch up on life outside of industry events. More than a decade later, our group has expanded to include people not exclusively named Dave (including yours truly, the first woman to join the group 😉), hailing from various segments across the industry. Because in this business, it’s all about networking and relationships—and sometimes the best ones are built over good coffee and an impactful produce display. 🍉🌽☕️ #SacramentoCoffeeClub #ProduceNerds #TheDaves #ProduceIndustry #IndustryRelationships Dave Moore Dave Howald Dave Schoonmaker David Moen, ACC, MBA Sarah Burns John Freitas Kip Martin Felicia Dito-Langham (OG members not in attendance: REX Lawrence and Scot Olson)

〽️Update on the US Egg Market and Avian Influenza: - Avian Influenza has not impacted a major layer operation since early October. - Virus remains present across the country but has spared layers operations. - Industry is unsure how or why layers have stayed out of the path. - This has allowed production to recover. - Expansions have also added to the total layer population. - USDA reporting 302.85MM layers as of December 1st, following gov. shutdown. - Layer numbers appear under-reported, given market conditions. - Markets have collapsed, reaching the lowest levels since summer 2023. - 1st of the year inventory levels are the 2nd highest in the last decade. - Retail prices have been slow to follow wholesale benchmarks. - Exports, which typically account for about 3-4% of production, are limited. - Foodservice demand is slow, with limited promotional activity. - Seasonal holiday schedules slowed manufacturing and product needs. - Further processors have built substantial shell egg inventories. - Liquid prices nearing 5-year lows. - Inventories of frozen and dried products are rapidly increasing. - Supply is clearly outweighing demand, odd given the reported flock size. - The US population has been affected by deportation. - Est. 2mm people out of the country. - Lower prices should generate aggressive retail promotion and price adjustments. - Additional layer growth could keep pressure on the market. - HPAI will remain a catalyst. (2025 Jan-March - peak of the outbreak) Hoped everyone enjoyed their holiday season and have a great start to the New Year! #eggs #commoditymarkets #HPAI

Opening Prices for U.S. Pistachios – New Season 2025/26 Wonderful Pistachios has officially announced the first prices of the new U.S. crop: 🔹 In-shell Pistachios, 21–25, Extra No. 1 → $9.02/kg ($4.10/lb) 🔹 Golden Hills variety, raw pistachios → $8.47/kg ($3.85/lb) 🔹 Kerman variety, raw pistachios → $8.25/kg ($3.75/lb) 📌 These opening figures serve as a global benchmark, influencing trade across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. ⸻ 🌍 Impact on Iran’s Pistachio Market The U.S. announcement immediately puts pressure on Iranian exporters: • For standard round varieties, prices above $7.5$ per kg are now unrealistic unless supported by superior kernel quality. (Sizes in Iran is small this year , Fandoghi in average will be 34/36 ) • Green kernels remain the only product with steady, genuine demand, where Iran continues to hold a strong advantage. • Exporters will adjust offers to remain competitive, especially in China, India, Turkey, and the EU. ⸻ 🇨🇳 Why China’s Decision Matters China is the swing buyer in the global pistachio trade: • It is the fastest-growing market, with strong gifting culture and rising middle-class consumption. • Buyers closely compare Iranian vs. U.S. pistachios on price, quality, and logistics. • Political and regulatory factors matter: U.S. pistachios face tariffs, while Iran faces banking and sanction-related barriers. • Because of their large-volume, short-window purchases, Chinese buyers can tip the balance of global prices. 👉 If China steps in strongly, both U.S. and Iranian markets could stabilize. 👉 If China delays or reduces buying, global inventories will weigh on prices for months. ⸻ 🔑 The key question now: Will China step in to stabilize the pistachio market, or will oversupply keep pressure on prices into 2026? Chinese traders are in big hesitation now… #Pistachios #IranianPistachios #trade #Agriculture #Foodindustry #Nuts #Export #Pistachioindustry #Marketinsight #SustainableAgriculture #Foodexport #cropreport #marketupdate #Agritrade #Nutsindustry #Businessgrowth #Globaltrade #Gulfood #Pistachioinshell #pistachiokernel #worldfood #inc #usapistachio #californiapistachio #wonderfulpistachio
