Earlier Report Observations

The market for shelled walnuts in the Americas, measured in value, showed considerable variation from 2018 to 2023. Starting at $10.5 billion in 2018, the market size fell sharply to $7.4 billion in 2019. It partially recovered to $8.8 billion in 2020, then declined over the next two years to $7.2 billion in 2022, before rising again to $7.7 billion in 2023.

In 2024, key developments included regulatory updates and environmental pressures. Amendments to the California Walnut Marketing Order, effective from September 2023, removed mandatory inspection and certification for shelled walnuts, reducing handler costs and streamlining market access. Simultaneously, persistent drought conditions in California led to orchard removals and increased irrigation costs, putting downward pressure on walnut production volumes.
