The consumption survey is presented in: Standards. - Estimated total metric tons consumed between 2013 and 2017. The INC mission is to stimulate and facilitate sustainable growth in the global Nut and Dried Fruit Industry, - Consumption per capita in kilograms per year: total volume consumed throughout the providing new opportunities for increasing global consumption of almonds, Amazonia (Brazil) nuts, total population of the country (according to the Population data from United Nations, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, walnuts, peanuts, dates, dried apricots, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division. 2017). dried figs, prunes, sweetened dried cranberries, raisins, sultanas and currants. - Estimated consumption per capita in kilograms per year: total volume consumed by the estimated percentage of population that is considered regular consumer of the specific This statistical yearbook provides an overview of worldwide latest statistics on nuts and dried fruits nut or dried fruit. production, trade and consumption. 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.
