The statistical data have been gathered from different information sources, countries and formats. The present collection of statistics will enable the industry, Government Data sources: INC Database, DESA/UNSD United Nations Comtrade Database, European Commission officials, non-profit organizations and stakeholders to analyze nut and dried fruit production, trade and Trade Helpdesk (Comext), United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (Population Division), consumption trends. U.S. Department of Agriculture and the World Bank. Statistics are classified by product, in turn each product is classified by: • Production: total metric tons produced from 2008/2009 to 2018/2019, top producing countries in 2018/2019 and five-year average share. • Exports: total metric tons exported, and eventually re-exported from transit countries from 2007 to 2017, top exporting countries and five-year average share. • Imports: total metric tons imported by the twenty largest importers between 2007 and 2017. - Some countries are identified as transit points or processors,e.g. , the Netherlands and Germany are big re-exporters to the rest of Europe and Vietnam and India are important processing countries of raw cashew nuts.

Of the six major plant parts, seeds are the dominant source of human calories and protein.[1] The other five major plant parts are roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits. Most ed- ible seeds are angiosperms, but a few are gymnosperms. The most important global seed food source, by weight, is cereals, followed by legumes, and nuts.[2] The list is divided into the following categories: • Cereals (or grains) are grass-like crops that are har- vested for their dry seeds. These seeds are often ground to make flour. Cereals provide almost half of all calories consumed in the world.[3] Botanically, true cereals are members of the Poaceae, the true grass family.

  • Brazil Nut Sorting for Aflatoxin Prevention: a Comparison Between Automatic and Manual Shelling Methods Ariane Mendonça PACHECO1, Maristela MARTINS1*
    Food Science and Technology ISSN 0101-2061 Brazil nut sorting for aflatoxin prevention: a comparison between automatic and manual shelling methods Ariane Mendonça PACHECO1, Maristela MARTINS1* Abstract The impact of automatic and manual shelling methods during manual/visual sorting of different batches of Brazil nuts from the 2010 and 2011 harvests was evaluated in order to investigate aflatoxin prevention.The samples were tested as follows: in-shell, shell, shelled, and pieces in order to evaluate the moisture content (mc), water activity (Aw), and total aflatoxin (LOD = 0.3 µg/kg and LOQ 0.85 µg/kg) at the Brazil nut processing plant. The results of aflatoxins obtained for the manually shelled nut samples ranged from 3.0 to 60.3 µg/g and from 2.0 to 31.0 µg/g for the automatically shelled samples. All samples showed levels of mc below the limit of 15%; on the other hand, shelled samples from both harvests showed levels of Aw above the limit. There were no significant differences concerning the manual or automatic shelling results during the sorting stages. On the other hand, the visual sorting was effective in decreasing the aflatoxin contamination in both methods.

  • List of Crop Plants Pollinated by Bees 1 List of Crop Plants Pollinated by Bees
    List of crop plants pollinated by bees 1 List of crop plants pollinated by bees Pollination by insects is called entomophily. Entomophily is a form of pollination whereby pollen is distributed by insects, particularly bees, Lepidoptera (e.g. butterflies and moths), flies and beetles. Note that honey bees will pollinate many plant species that are not native to areas where honey bees occur, and are often inefficient pollinators of such plants. Please note that plants that require insect pollination to produce seeds do not necessarily require pollination to grow from seed into food. The carrot is an example.

  • The Distribution of the Brazil Nut (Bertholletia Excelsa)
    Bol. Mus. Para. Emílio Goeldi. Cienc. Nat., Belém, v. 9, n. 2, p. 267-291, maio-ago. 2014 The distribution of the Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa) through time: from range contraction in glacial refugia, over human-mediated expansion, to anthropogenic climate change Distribuição da castanha-do-brasil (Bertholletia excelsa) através do tempo: desde a contração no refúgio glacial, sua expansão mediada pelos humanos, até a mudança climática antropogênica Evert ThomasI, Carolina Alcázar CaicedoI, Judy LooII, Roeland KindtIII IBioversity International, Regional Office for the Americas. Cáli, Colômbia IIBioversity International, Headquarters. Roma, Itália IIIWorld Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF). Nairóbi, Quênia Abstract: Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa) is one of the most important non-timber forest producing tree species in the Amazon. One aspect related to the sustainability of Brazil nut that has so far received very limited attention in literature is how the species’ distribution has changed through time and will continue to do so in light of anthropogenic climate change. We modeled the potential distribution of Brazil nut during different past climates as well as during several future time periods. Of the past time periods, the Last Glacial Maximum (~21,000 BP) had the biggest impact on the present distribution of Brazil nut. The distribution of suitable habitat may have been restricted primarily to several potential refugia across southern Amazonia. On the other hand, the oldest Brazil nut remains found at the Pedra Pintada cave (~11,000 BP) were probably harvested by early humans from trees that reached the area after natural range expansion from one or more smaller refugia which may have been located close to the Amazon River delta.

  • The Brazil Nut (Bertholletia Excelsa)
    The Brazil Nut (Bertholletia excelsa) By Tim Hennessey The Brazil Nut is the fruit of a tree that grows mostly wild in rainforests. Castanheiro do Para, which is the Brazilian name given to this tree, is found in many Amazonian states of Brazil, Peru, Columbia, Venezuela and Ecudor. It is most pervalent in the Brazilian states of Marahao, Mato Grosso, Acre, Para, Rondonia, and the Amazonas. The tree is enormous, Frequently attaining the height of 160 feet or more. The fruit is a large spherical woody capsule or pod and measures an average of six inches in diameter and can weigh up to 5 pounds. The fruit pods grow at the ends of thick branches, then ripens and falls from the tree from January to June. Inside each fruit pod is 12 to 25 Brazil nuts with their own indvidual shell(1). Brazil nuts are harvested at plantations and in the wild. Plantations are being developed in various parts of the Amazon. Fazenda Aruana is the owner of a 12,000 hectare former cattle ranch, partially converted to a Brazil Nut plantation in 1980. By January of 1990, 318,660 Brazil nut trees were planted on 3341 hectares of land. Fazenda's original intent was to plant Brazil Nut trees in a 20 by 20 meter grids and allow cattle grazing between the trees. The trees in the Aruana plantation are the result of grafting high yield clones from the region of Abufari Amazonas were Brazil nuts are know for their large fruits and seeds. As a result of fertilization from the same clones, the fruit production among clones has been low (2).

  • Oral Allergy Syndrome
    Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust Children’s Allergy Clinic Oral allergy syndrome Information for parents What is oral allergy syndrome? • In the common form, oral allergy syndrome usually causes redness, itching, burning and swelling of the lips, inside of the mouth, tongue and soft palate. A child will often refuse the food once it starts irritating their mouth. • Occasionally itching and swelling of the throat occurs. Other reactions such as hives (similar to nettle rash), conjunctivitis (itchy, watery eyes), rhinitis (inflammation inside the nose), asthma, nausea and vomiting may occur later. • Severe symptoms such as anaphylactic shock or breathing problems are rare. What are the causes? • Oral allergy syndrome (OAS) is usually caused by an allergy to certain fruit and vegetables, especially when eaten raw. • Reactions to the same foods when they are cooked are less likely but can sometimes happen. The skin of certain fruit and vegetables can cause a reaction. • OAS is also associated with an allergy to pollen, especially from silver birch, but also grasses, ragweed (ragwort) and mugwort. 75% of people with silver birch allergy will have OAS. Allergic rhinitis symptoms may flare up when these pollens are in season. • OAS can also occur in people allergic to rubber latex. What to do if a child has an allergic reaction If an allergic reaction occurs, the child should stop eating the food immediately and spit it out. Give the child a dose of antihistamine. In the unlikely event that a severe reaction occurs, then dial 999 for an ambulance. page 2 OAS reactions are usually immediate and occur within 1-5 minutes of the problem food coming into contact with the mouth.

  • Demography of the Brazil Nut Tree (Bertholletia Excelsa) in the Bolivian Amazon: Impact of Seed Extraction on Recruitment and Population Dynamics
    Journal of Tropical Ecology (2002) 18:1–31. With 9 figures Copyright 2002 Cambridge University Press Demography of the Brazil nut tree (Bertholletia excelsa) in the Bolivian Amazon: impact of seed extraction on recruitment and population dynamics PIETER A. ZUIDEMA*†1 and RENE´ G. A. BOOT*† *Programa Manejo de Bosques de la Amazonı´a Boliviana (PROMAB), Casilla 107, Riberalta, Beni, Bolivia †Department of Plant Ecology, Utrecht University, PO Box 80084, 3508 TB Utrecht, The Netherlands (Accepted 22nd April 2001) ABSTRACT. A demographic study was carried out on Bertholletia excelsa, the Brazil nut tree, in two primary forest sites in Northern Bolivia where Brazil nuts have been harvested for several decades. In spite of the large proportion (93%) of seeds that are harvested, reasonable densities of recently emerged seedlings were found. Seeds of Bertholletia are contained in woody fruits that are primarily opened by agoutis. Most fruits are left untouched on the forest floor for 1–2 y before they are opened, possibly due to high energetic costs of fruit opening just after fruit fall. However, the proportion of viable seeds is strongly reduced in older fruits. Growth in diameter at breast height (dbh) was low for pole-sized trees (< 15 cm dbh) and adult trees (> 100 cm dbh) and peaked for intermediate-sized trees (30–60 cm). These trees often attained a growth rate of > 1.5 cm y−1, which is high compared with other non-pioneer tropical trees. This, and the strong growth response to increased light availability found for seedlings and saplings, suggest that Bertholletia excelsa can be classified as a gap-dependent species.
