Abstract
In recent years, global nut production has shown significant growth, driven by rising consumer demand for healthy snacks and plant-based diets. The United States has consistently led in nut production, particularly almonds, walnuts, and pistachios, with a peak of 2.42 million tonnes in 2021. This surge can be attributed to advancements in agricultural practices and an increase in acreage dedicated to nut cultivation.Past trends indicate that countries like Australia, Spain, and Turkey have also expanded their nut production, diversifying the global supply. Factors such as climate change, water availability, and trade policies are influencing these dynamics, shaping the competitive landscape of the nut market worldwide.
Nut exports (worldwide)
From 1961 to 2021, global nut production has experienced remarkable growth, with the United States reaching a peak of 2.42 million tonnes in 2021, representing 100% of its maximum capacity. This rise reflects a growing consumer preference for healthy snacks and plant-based diets, driving demand for almonds, walnuts, and pistachios.Over the decades, countries like Australia, Spain, and Turkey have also increased their nut exports, enhancing global competition. Innovations in agricultural practices and irrigation techniques have contributed to higher yields. However, challenges such as climate change, water scarcity, and trade fluctuations continue to shape the industry’s dynamics, impacting production and export volumes worldwide.
