We are excited to announce the release of our highly anticipated INC Statistical Yearbook, a comprehensive resource that offers a deep dive into global production trends, leading producers, consumption patterns, and trade dynamics. This yearbook provides essential data and insights that highlight the current state of the global nut and dried fruit sector.

Key Insights from the Statistical Yearbook:

Following a peak of 50.78 M MT in 2020/21 (in-shell basis), global peanut production amounted to 47.73 M MT in 2023/24 and a recovery to a new high of 52.48 M MT is projected to 2024/25. Total dried fruit production amounted to 3.36 M MT in 2023/24 and is estimated at 3.33 M MT for 2024/25.
