Pecan Prices Increase

You may think twice about adding one traditional item to your Thanksgiving meal this year. 

Pecan Grove in Sahuarita, ArizonaThe price of pecans continues to go up. The price of a bag of pecans is now 11-dollars.  It’s gone up one dollar every year since 2008.  Pecan growers say there are several reasons, demand from China and a record drought in large pecan producing states- like Texas.  As a result, the U.S. crop this year will drop 14-percent compared to last year.
