TOKYO -- Global prices of almonds and nuts are rising, contrary to the expected impact of the U.S.-China tariff battle.
Almonds are going for around $3.25 per pound, or 453 grams, in the U.S., having jumped 8% since the September-October period of last year. The U.S. produces 80% of the world's almonds, with the state of California leading the way.
