Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, Yemen's treenuts market volume expanded strongly, rising from 11 335 t to 27 822 t. This growth was supported by consistent increases in domestic production and a sharp surge in imports, which more than doubled between 2019 and 2021.

Market volume declined to 24 285 t in 2022 before a slight recovery to 24 924 t in 2023. The 2023 uptick coincided with a global rise in demand for treenuts, driven by growing consumer awareness of their health benefits, which provided support to Yemen's market.

In 2024, the market environment was shaped by higher treenut prices due to increased shipping and insurance costs linked to war risks, particularly evident during Ramadan. The Yemeni Standards and Quality Control Authority also intensified quality oversight to prevent spoilage and health hazards, while a persistent economic downturn continued to weigh on consumer purchasing power.
