  • Europe: Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Cyprus, Greece, Bulgaria
  • Africa: Morocco
  • Asia: China, Israel, Iran
  • America: USA (California), Argentina
  • Australia: Australia
Stowage factor (in m3/t)
  • 2.20 m³/t (flat jute fabric bags, 50 kg)
  • 1.95 - 2.09 m³/t (boxes)
  • 2.03 - 2.09 m³/t (bags)
  • 3.34 m³/t (large drums)
  • 2.50 - 2.65 m³/t (bags from India)
  • 1.97 m³/t (boxes or cartons)
  • 1.70 - 2.55 m³/t (shelled in bags)
  • 2.55 - 3.12 m³/t (unshelled in bags)
20% additional stowage space must be allowed for unshelled almonds in bags
Humidity / moisture Precise details should be obtained from the consignor as to the relative humidity to be maintained during the voyage.
  • Designation: Humidity/water content
  • Relative humidity: 65 - 75% (almonds); 65% (almond kernels)
  • Water content: 4.5 - 8% (almonds) ; 3.5 - 7% (almond kernels); 6% (soft-shelled almonds)
  • Maximum equilibrium moisture content: 65%
