Continued from Page 53 China, Vietnam, India, Turkey, Europe, Russia, and South America just to name a few. Ryan says he does very little domestic business. “It is cheaper to ship export product. It costs $1,100-$1,200 to ship my product from Chico to the port. But then to go from the port to China is only $700. Our trucking costs are way more expensive than shipping costs. It is cheaper for me to ship across the world than across the country.” Ryan also explains most of their almonds are inshell, making up about 75 percent of their exports. He is shipping to other manufacturers who are getting a final consumer grade product. Last year, Ryan says they shipped more almonds to Vietnam than he ever had before. “It was just a very slow process and delaying the number of loads from Vietnam into China. What would normally take 45-60 days to go from Port of Oakland to China was taking 70-90 days.” He is hopeful this year that more almonds will continue to ship, he just wishes the tariffs would work themselves out quicker. “They have a lot of demand, but will China pay the tariffs or continue to bring it in from other countries? Will their price be able to sustain that cost? There is a huge demand, they need more almonds. We just need to get the tariffs figured out.” Ryan explains this isn’t anything new. “Even in the last five years, at least 65 percent of what has shipped to China has gone through Vietnam.” Shipping through brokers helps Ryan ship his product and cover some of the risk associated with shipping almonds and walnuts into difficult countries. The brokers can help alleviate when vendors don’t want to pay if they have an issue with the product, especially when the market goes down. Ryan says “Vendors rarely complain when the market goes up, but always complain when the market goes down. To have a broker, does cost a couple cents, but it helps manage risk in foreign countries.” If something happens to a container, he still has to pay the grower. Vanella Farms is selling product mostly for growers who they at least do their hulling. He lets the growers decide how they want to get paid. They can sell it all before January or he will watch the market and sell throughout the year if that is what the grower wants. They can pick when they need the cash flow. Ryan says it is a good model they seem to like and still have control over their crop. Ryan tries to pack and sell product all twelve months throughout the year. “I want to get the highs, get the lows and I also get the average. That is all I can ask. If I know the market looks good, I might sell more that month. But I want to be able to sell product every month Continued on Page 56 Offering Annual Contracts ---------------------------------- Individual Payment Schedules https://www.facebook.com/sbmercantile.net www.sbmercantile.net Custom Harvesting Available 6188 Luckehe Rd.
