World Almond Index

The World Almond Index provides an insight into the overall average wholesale price( before shipping) over the past year.
The Index is calculated against all almond varieties and sizes sold.
The Index has been calculated by Stratamarkets, which is a subscription-based service that provides clients with an independent analysis of the global almond market by tracking pricing trends on a weekly basis.
The Index price is a“ Free Alongside”( FAS) global wholesale price average, not a farmgate return. It does not include shipping and is before primary and secondary processing and packing costs are deducted.
Footnote:
To calculate the Index in Australian dollars per kilogram, apply the following process. Step 1: Step 2:
Example:
US price per pound x 2.2046 = $ US per kilogram
$ US price per kilogram divided by the Australian dollar’ s exchange rate against the $ US = Australian price / kilogram
$ US2.00 / lb x 2.2046 = $ US4.41 / kg $ US4.41 divided by $ AUD0.65 = $ AUD6.78 / kg( FAS)
The index should only be used as a guide as pricing will vary from grower to grower and is based solely on the information gathered by Stratamarkets. For more information on Stratamarkets go to www. stratamarkets. com. au
