The International Nut and Dried Fruit Council (INC) forecasts a significant increase in global pine nut production in the 2024/25 season, with a 122.6% surge to 174,005 tons, primarily driven by Asian producers, especially China. The European Union (EU), as a major market, is experiencing a record high in pine nut imports, which are expected to further increase due to China's expanded exports.

However, production challenges are noted in Mediterranean regions, with Turkey, Spain, Italy, and Portugal experiencing declines.
