About nuts, edible; almonds, fresh or dried, in shell

HS code 080211 covers the import and export of fresh or dried almonds in their shells. Almonds are a highly versatile and nutritious tree nut that are widely consumed around the world. As a major agricultural product, the almond industry plays a significant role in the global food and beverage economy, with almonds finding use in a variety of food, confectionery, and cosmetic applications.

Production process

Almonds are primarily produced through commercial almond orchards, where almond trees are cultivated and harvested. The production process involves planting almond trees, maintaining the orchards, pollinating the flowers, and harvesting the nuts once they have matured and dried on the tree. After harvesting, the almonds are typically hulled, shelled, and processed for distribution and sale.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the almond industry include land for almond orchards, almond tree seedlings, agricultural equipment and machinery, water for irrigation, and labor for planting, maintenance, and harvesting. Additionally, the industry relies on access to transportation infrastructure and distribution networks to move the almonds from the orchards to domestic and international markets.
