Sourcing Challenges on the Global Nuts Market
09 Sep 2015 | Barry Callebaut
La Morella Nuts produces around 10,000 MT of fine nut products a year for customers across the globe at two Spanish factories (Reus & Castellvell). This breaks down into 5,000 MT hazelnut-based products, 3,000 MT of almond-based products and 1,000 MT other nuts products (macadamias, pecans, pistachios and walnuts). 80% of the company’s hazelnuts are sourced from Spain itself. For almonds, this figure is lower at 70%, as certain sizes are only possible to obtain from California [27/30]. Oscar Sans of Barry Callebaut discusses supply challenges.
