Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the market volume for in-shell cashew nuts in Angola showed remarkable stability, hovering around 2 150 metric tons per year. The market size began at 2 148 t in 2018 and reached 2 191 t in 2019, a marginal increase that did not alter the overall flat trend.

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 directly affected Angola's cashew industry, as factory closures and supply chain disruptions across Africa led to a temporary dip in market volume to 2 154 t. Regional trade was also impacted, exemplified by a 20.9% drop in cashew exports from Guinea-Bissau due to pandemic restrictions.

Post-pandemic, the market volume gently recovered to 2 161 t in 2021 and 2 170 t in 2022, before edging down to 2 158 t in 2023. These minor fluctuations, all within a 2% band, reflect a market in steady-state without major supply or demand shocks during this period.
