China is the largest walnut producing country in the world, with a production of 1.4 million metric tons in 2023. The global walnut market is projected to grow from $8.4 billion in 2023 to $12.4 billion by 2032, driven by increasing consumer awareness of health benefits, expanding online retail channels, and the rising popularity of nut milks. The top 10 walnut producing countries include the United States, Chile, and several European nations, highlighting the global significance of this nut. Additionally, the United States leads in walnut exports, both shelled and unshelled, while Turkey and the UAE are key importers. Walnuts, known for their omega-3 content and heart-healthy properties, have a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations. They are celebrated in the U.S. with National Walnut Day, established in 1949.
