South Africa: Product Brief Almonds
Link to report:
In recent years, the demand for nuts in South Africa – especially almonds – has risen with consumers’ desire for nutritious snack choices and in-home baking ingredients. Food manufacturers have increasingly used almonds in baked goods, breakfast cereals, mixed snacks, granola bars, and trail mixes. South Africa imports the majority of its almonds from the United States, totaling $23 million in 2023. Almond production in South Africa is growing but almost exclusively exported. Domestic almonds will only compete with imports if prices change to make the market more desirable, and local production still falls far short of demand.
