Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for in-shell cashew nuts in the Dominican Republic showed moderate growth from 676.5 tons in 2018 to 699.0 tons in 2023. The market experienced volatility, with a notable increase in 2021 when volume rose by 4.9% to 711.0 tons, reaching a peak of 713.4 tons in 2022 before a slight decline in 2023.

This expansion was primarily fueled by a sharp rise in imports, which grew more than fourfold from 6.5 tons in 2018 to 41.1 tons in 2022. This import surge compensated for fluctuations in domestic production, which remained relatively stable, oscillating between 656.5 tons and 675.8 tons over the period.

The overall market growth of 3.3% from 2018 to 2023 was underpinned by increased import volumes, which enhanced total supply, while local production provided a consistent baseline.
