Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the treenuts market volume in Eswatini showed significant year-to-year variability. Starting at 929 tons in 2018, it fell to 846 tons in 2019 before recovering to 952 tons in 2020. A pronounced drop followed in 2021, bringing the market to 823 tons, but a strong rebound in 2022 pushed it to a period high of 1 000 tons. The volume then moderated to 909 tons in 2023.

Underlying these shifts was a stable domestic production base, which remained between 1 037 and 1 055 tons annually. The fluctuations in overall market volume were primarily driven by substantial changes in export volumes, which ranged from a low of 56 tons in 2022 to a high of 258 tons in 2021, directly affecting the amount available domestically.
