EU-28: Tree Nuts Annual
The European Union-28 (EU-28) is the largest export market for U.S. tree nuts. In 2017, tree nut shipments from the United States to the EU-28 reached $2.7 billion. Sales of U.S. almonds (both inshell and shelled) totaled $1.5 billion, followed by pistachios with $446 million and walnuts with almost $344 million. The growing popularity of healthier snacking and eating habits among European consumers is expected to continue fueling consumption and sales of U.S. tree nuts.
