Brazil Nuts Market Forecast by 2033
Market Size in 2024: 29.8 thousand tons
Market Forecast in 2033: 41.1 thousand tons
Market Growth Rate 2025-2033: 3.6%
Brazil’s namesake nut trade is climbing steadily. After reaching 29.8 thousand tons in 2024, the Brazil nuts market is projected to hit 41.1 thousand tons by 2033, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 3.6% as health-centric snacking, clean-label cosmetics, and e-commerce convenience open new routes to global consumers.
Growth Drivers Cracking Open the Brazil Nuts Market
Government Secures Thai Market Access, Adding 1.8 Million Export Channels
In September 2024, Brazil’s agriculture ministry announced new phytosanitary approvals for pecan-nut exports to Thailand, the ninth-largest destination for Brazilian agri-exports worth USD 1.8 billion in the first seven months of the year. The protocol includes Brazil nuts under the same tariff quota, effectively creating an immediate 600 t annual outlet for shelled kernels. Because Thai import duty on processed nuts falls from 30% to zero under the ASEAN customs pact, FOB prices for exporters rise 12%, encouraging cooperatives in Acre and Amazonas to expand wild-collection areas by 8% in 2025 and locking in a predictable offtake that supports the forecast volume CAGR.
E-Commerce CAGR of 13% Removes Urban Shelf-Space Constraints
Brazil’s e-commerce market is expanding at 13.32% CAGR (2024-2032), according to ministry data, and nuts rank in the top-five food categories by basket penetration. Mercado Libre’s dedicated “Superfoods” hub recorded 42% year-on-year Brazil-nut sales in Q1-2025, driven by one-click repeat-purchase buttons and same-day delivery in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Because online listings bypass traditional retailer slotting fees, small cooperatives can launch 150 g snack packs at BRL 9.90-30% below supermarket shelf price, widening the consumer base beyond premium specialty stores and accelerating trial-to-repeat conversion that feeds sustained volume growth.
Sustainable Wild-Collection Certification Opens Premium Niche Worth BRL 40 Million
Rainforest Alliance and Instituto Chico Mendes jointly launched a “Wild Brazil Nut” seal in March 2025 that guarantees zero deforestation and fair-trade premiums for extractivist communities. Forty-three cooperatives covering 1.2 million ha enrolled in the first semester, with certified kernels commanding a BRL 2.50 per kg premium. French retailer Carrefour has already committed to 300 t of certified kernels for its private-label trail-mix launch in 2026, creating a BRL 40 million revenue pool. Because certification requires only GPS-mapping of collection areas and existing community governance, adoption barriers are low, encouraging wider uptake that differentiates Brazilian supply from Bolivian and Peruvian competitors and supports price stability through the forecast period.
