THE COMMODITY
II.What Tree Nuts (almond, pistachio, walnut) is, and what H-α does with it
Tree nuts are a basket of separately priced trades — almonds, walnuts, pistachios, hazelnuts, pecans, macadamias — sharing buyers and shipping form but not a price. California carries almonds, walnuts and pistachios, Türkiye hazelnuts, Iran pistachios, Australia and South Africa macadamias. Grade turns on size count per ounce or per kilo, kernel colour, insect damage and, for in-shell lines, the shelling outturn. Water availability in California and frost in the Black Sea hazelnut belt are the two standing supply risks.
What the subscription does with it
The subscription reads the declared record on each nut's own HS heading, in-shell and kernel separated, and keeps handlers, processors, exporters and importers in one book. Where no free weekly price exists for a line — the ordinary case in this trade — the platform anchors on published official series and customs unit values, states which of the two any figure came from, and never presents a unit value as a quotable price.
The registry’s note on the headings this subscription reads:
HS6 splits in-shell from shelled and NOTHING else. It CANNOT separate Nonpareil from Carmel almond, nor Chandler from Howard walnut — and variety is most of the price difference a handler actually quotes on. Same class of gap Wave 3 recorded for basmati rice.
080211 almonds in shell; 080212 almonds shelled; 080231 walnuts in shell; 080232 walnuts shelled; 080251 pistachios in shell; 080252 pistachios shelled
The registry’s caveat on the price anchor:
US Government work (17 U.S.C. 105). The API terms require attribution and prohibit implying Census endorsement; they do not restrict redistribution. Terms: https://www.census.gov/data/developers/about/terms-of-service.html
