Earlier Report Observations

The Spanish hazelnut market expanded sharply from 68 189 тыс. $ in 2018 to 95 377 тыс. $ in 2019, driven by technical enhancements in cultivation, including new phytosanitary groups and price observatories, alongside growing interest in planting regions such as Navarra. Global demand, particularly from Italy, further supported this growth.

After a contraction to 50 713 тыс. $ in 2020, the market recovered to 64 721 тыс. $ in 2021 and stabilized near 66 001 тыс. $ in 2022. During this period, product innovations like hazelnut-chocolate spreads, fueled by health and plant-based diet trends, helped sustain consumption levels.

Severe drought and water restrictions led to a 26.7% drop in market size to 48 412 тыс. $ in 2023, with climate conditions causing a historic 40% decline in production by 2024. This scarcity impacted domestic availability and triggered international discussions to stabilize prices and supply.
