COVID-19 Impact on Nut Meals Market
The COVID-19 pandemic lockdown disrupted transportation, temporarily suspended the supply of nuts and their products, and had a significant negative impact on the global export and import of the nuts market. In the meantime, a healthy eating pattern that includes eating things like almonds, peanuts, cashews, and other products has led to the preservation of the human immune system, which will present opportunities for market players following the COVID-19 pandemic. Home cooking and baking increased during lockdowns as people spent more time at home. Almond flour and cashew flour, both kinds of nuts, have grown in popularity as ingredients in low-carb and gluten-free recipes. The popularity of nut meals increased as a result of this trend, especially among home bakers.

Governments imposed trade restrictions or tariffs on products imported from or exported to Russia or Ukraine in response to political unrest. These limitations had an impact on the supply of nut meals and related products.
