I know someone who grows and processes walnuts. They own everything, the land, picked and cultivated the trees, bought equipment, hired workers, some on temporary (seasonal basis) some permanent. Apparently shelled and sorted high quality walnuts are pretty expensive and a good profit maker. Especially in the EU market. Or at least they were more expensive than I'd expect.
When they said how much a truck full of packaged shelled walnuts is worth, I also surprised they are not sending guards with those trucks.
- bayesian_horse 9y agoYes, a truck load of nuts is worth millions. And it may be easy to steal. But it also takes a whole truck to run away with the loot.
