Pecans
USA
Pecan comes from the Algonquin word meaning a nut that requires cracking to eat. It is native to North and Central America growing in most of the southern states of the USA and in Mexico. The commercially grown US crop ranges from 100 to 150 thousand MT depending on growing conditions.
The biggest threats to the crop come from drought and diseases such as nickel deficiency and scab. The latter has had a large effect on 2014 Georgian crop drastically reducing over all numbers of unbroken halves.
