Growers are sending out all of their pecans that are not destined to be put into cold 
storage for sale. While prices are stabilizing, they are still a little low for growers 
that have export and retail gift quality pecans, and they are optimistic that will change 
after the New Year. Shellers and domestic buyers are busy grading and making offers along 
with the gift shop purchases preparing for the holiday sales. Some are still purchasing 
pecans from other sources. Export business is slow, but there are buyers looking to send 
some out overseas and negotiations are ongoing.
