The United States is the world’s largest pecan-producing country. Two types of pecans are produced in the U.S.: native or seedling and improved varieties. Native pecans are varieties that developed under natural conditions. Seedling pecans are produced from seed (the nut) and have not been budded or grafted. Improved pecans are varieties that have been genetically developed through breeding and grafting techniques to produce more nuts, and nuts with a greater percentage of nut meat. Depending on the variety, pecan trees require 205–233 frost-free days for the nuts to reach maturity, and this restricts pecan production to southern states. Other countries producing pecans include Australia, Brazil, Israel, Mexico, Peru, and South Africa.
A recent action by U.S. pecan growers has the potential to change the economics of the industry to some degree. On May 6, 2016, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the passage of a Federal Marketing Order (FMO) for pecans by an overwhelming majority of pecan growers in the 15-state production area of the nation. The final rule was published in the Federal Register of August 4, 2016, and took effect the following day.
The summary reads:
This rule establishes a marketing agreement and order (order) for pecans grown in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas. The order provides authority to
