The export of shelled almonds from the Netherlands to Belgium has seen significant fluctuations over the past decade. In 2013, the volume was relatively low at 922 metric tons. Since then, there has been a substantial increase, peaking in 2016 with a 52.05% year-on-year growth. However, this was followed by a drop in 2017 and a fluctuating but overall moderate growth trend thereafter. By 2023, the volume stood at 2240 metric tons, showcasing an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.39% over the past five years.
Future trends to watch for:
- A forecasted steady growth with an average annual growth rate of 1.96% over the next five years.
- Potential market adjustments due to economic changes or shifts in consumer preferences.
- Possible impact of regulatory changes in the EU regarding agricultural imports and exports.
