U.S. organic almond imports amounted to 59 thousand USD in 2015, soaring over the last two years. However, it is likely to slow down in 2016, because import value from Jan-Oct 2016 was 25% lower against the same period of the previous year.
According to IndexBox estimates, Spain dominates in the supplies of organic almonds to the U.S. market.

Spain significantly strengthened its position on the U.S. organic almond market, growing its share in total imports from 51% in 2013 to 69% in 2015.
