EU-28: Tree Nuts Annual
The European Union-28 is the largest export market for U.S. tree nuts. In 2016, tree nut shipments from the United States to the EU-28 reached $2.95 billion. Almonds totaled $1.6 billion in sales (both in-shell and shelled), followed by walnuts with almost $420 million and pistachios with $380 million. The growing popularity of healthier snacking and eating habits amongst European consumers is expected to continue the positive trend in nuts consumption.
