Earlier Report Observations

The market for flour or powder of fruits and nuts in Israel experienced a period of substantial expansion from 2020 to 2022, with volume rising from 1,096 thousand tonnes to 1,805 thousand tonnes. This growth was underpinned by a steady consumer shift towards healthier and specialty food options, reflected in the consistent development of recipes using nut flours and dried fruits, as well as the broader availability of gluten-free and wholemeal flour varieties tailored for health-conscious and vegan baking.

The expansion was further supported by the ongoing marketing of specialty flours that cater to specific dietary and religious needs, such as kosher-for-Passover products, which broadened the product's use cases. The focus on local, fresh ingredients and the expansion of the domestic market's assortment also contributed to sustained demand through these years.
