1. Introduction
1.1 International Nut and Dried Fruit
Foundation

The International Nut and Dried Fruit Foundation (INC) is
the International source for information on nuts and dried
fruits for: Health, Nutrition, Food Safety, Statistics, Gover-
nment Standards and Government regulations regarding
trade barriers and trade quality standards.
The INC was founded in 1983 with the mission of provi-
ding new opportunities for increasing global consumption
of almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias,
pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, walnuts, peanuts, apricots,
dates, figs, prunes, raisins, sultanas and currants, by:
• Collecting and distributing a single source of annual

statistical information from producing and consuming
countries of nuts and dried fruits.
• Ensuring that global quality standards and trading
terms are within the framework of existing national and
international bodies and do not inhibit trade within the
industry.
• Promoting research and scientific studies.
• Promoting international cooperation by interacting with
various public, private, national and international organi-
zations which share our common goals.
• Increasing goodwill and mutual understanding of the
nut and dried fruit industry by promoting international
meetings in producing and consuming countries.

Production
Bolivia, Brazil and Peru are presently the chief producing countries 2009 BRAZIL NUT PRODUCTION KERNEL BASIS / METRIC TONS
of Amazonia (Brazil) nuts. Global production was estimated at
23,530 metric tons (kernel basis) in 2009, a 16 percent decrease
from the previous year, and a 18 percent decrease as compared to
the six-year average. Bolivia accounted for 68 percent of all Ama-

zonia nuts produced in 2009.
Amazonia nuts are harvested almost entirely from wild trees in the Bolivia 16.065 / 68%
Amazonian Rainforest. Since the three producing countries share Brazil 5.000 / 21%
Peru 2.465 / 11%
borders, there is constant movement of goods coming and going
in the Amazonas Rivers, and nuts produced in one country can be
processed in another.
