Earlier Report Observations

Venezuela's palm nuts and kernels production showed considerable volatility from 2018 to 2023. After increasing from 452.9 thousand tons in 2018 to 588.5 thousand tons in 2020, output fell sharply to 424.2 thousand tons in 2021, before recovering to 475.1 thousand tons in 2022 and 521.9 thousand tons in 2023.

The 9.8% production growth in 2023 coincided with a global trend toward healthy eating and rising demand for plant-based products, which supported market expansion. However, the same year saw the impact of Pudrición de Cogollo disease in the Magdalena department, affecting palm production in the northern region.

The sharp 27.9% drop in 2021 marked a significant contraction, but the market demonstrated resilience with two consecutive years of growth thereafter.
