The United States exported $2.7 billion of tree nuts in 2014, a new record figure since 1970 and up 20 percent compared to last year. The bulk of imports correspond to almonds with $1.7 billion, followed by walnuts with $0.5 billion and pistachios with $0.45 billion. The transition from VASP (Voluntary Aflatoxin Sampling Plan) to Pre-Export Checks has been smooth despite some initial confusion. However, the Almond Board of California encourages continued use of VASP certificates.
