Earlier Report Observations

The market for in-shell walnuts in the Americas showed considerable movement between 2018 and 2023. Volume fell to 807 thousand tons in 2019 as strong export growth, continuing a trend from the prior year, diverted supply from the domestic market. This was followed by a sharp rebound to 1 013 thousand tons in 2020, driven by heightened consumer demand for healthy, shelf-stable foods during the COVID-19 pandemic and simultaneous logistical disruptions that curtailed export flows.

After a dip to 920 thousand tons in 2021, linked to a significant rise in walnut prices that tempered consumption, the market recovered steadily. Continued marketing promotions focused on health benefits and the global adoption of more efficient processing technology, including new shelling and sorting machinery, supported growth in subsequent years, with volume reaching 1 029 thousand tons by 2023.
