India’s Nut Choices Only Scratch Surface But Puts it on World Map

According to a report, consumption of dry fruits and nuts increased by up to 25% in 2023. The growing market has also led Indian consumers to look beyond common dry fruits like cashews and almonds to now begin experimenting with pecans and prunes. Earlier, Afghanistan was a major exporter of dry fruits to India but has seen a decline in recent years as the quality reportedly does not match up to imports from the US. All of this shows that the Indian nuts and dry fruits market potentially has a very bright future ahead. That is why, despite our nuts and dry fruits market being at a nascent stage, India ranks second in terms of consumption of dry fruits like peanuts, almonds and cashews.
