Mintec to Launch Three New Nonpareil US Almond Assessments

All Market Notes 08 October 2021

Following market feedback, Mintec has decided to launch three new weekly Mintec Benchmark Prices for different grades of nonpareil almonds. These new assessments will begin publication effective 28th October 2021.

The specifications for the new assessments are as below:

The assessments will reflect the transactable value at 16:00 London time for the prices of a 40ft container of almonds on a per pound basis.

The assessments for ‘Nonpareil Extra’ will provide additional transparency into the US almond market by providing an independent price Benchmark for smaller sized kernels which have been increasingly common over the past years.

The assessment for Nonpareil inshell will provide additional information for the Asian dominated inshell markets, providing Mintec clients with even greater transparency in the global almond trade.
