Earlier Report Observations

The treenuts market in Nepal experienced a period of consistent growth from 2018 to 2021. The market volume expanded from 31 920 t in 2018 to a peak of 37 901 t in 2021, an increase of nearly 19%. This upward trend was supported by rising domestic production, which climbed from 8 221 t to 9 062 t over the same period, and a steady increase in imports, which grew from 23 732 t to 28 888 t.

The market dynamics shifted after 2021. In 2022, the total market size saw a slight contraction to 36 814 t, followed by a sharp decline of over 21% in 2023, bringing the volume down to 29 046 t. This substantial drop was primarily driven by a marked decrease in imported volumes, which fell from 28 551 t in 2022 to 19 193 t in 2023. Domestic production remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 9 968 t and 10 245 t in the latter years.
