The South American Cone: Argentina & Brazil
The genetics of the main varieties grown in both countries come from Germplasm Bank of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The following varieties are grown:
Sumner, Pawnee, Oconee, Stuart, Cape Fear, Nacono, Shoshoni, Maramec. choctaw, Forkert, Kernodle, Kiowa, Desirable, Mahan, Harris Super, Starking Hardy Giant, Wichita, Western Schley.
The differences between the varieties are the size of the nut, the color, and the harvest time. There are early harvest varieties and late harvest varieties.
According to the latest data, it is estimated that the total area planted with pecan is around 25,000 hectares (55.000 acres), with an annual production of 7,500 metric tons (16.500.000 pounds).
Since much production comes from young trees that have still to reach their maximum performance, and 2.500-3.000 new hectares (6.000 – 7.500 acres) are planted every year, production is expected to grow exponentially.
Estimations mark a projected total of 20,000 – 23,000 metric tons (44.000.000 – 50.000.00 pounds) in the next 5 years. This would create a humble but significant Pecan production hub in the Southern Hemisphere.
