Pecans Promising Market Expansion Despite Slow Native Demand
A United States Department of Agriculture survey shows the pecan crop could grow beyond the current 12.06 million pounds of improved varieties and 1,000 pounds of seedlings produced annually. Most pecans are grown in southern states east of the Mississippi with little imports from Mexico and virtually no exports. Per capita consumption remains under one third of a pound annually, and pecans are viewed as a luxury nut. Limited advertising and uneven distribution hinder broader market growth, though better grading by brewers and shippers could boost trade. Prices at shipping points averaged 31 cents per pound in 1928 with retailing around 47 to 50 cents.
