The nut market is experiencing a period of great strength and expansion. According to the report published by Dulces Noticias… y algo más (July 2025), nut consumption in Spain grew by 8.5% in volume over the past year, reaching a turnover of more than 1.4 billion euros. These figures confirm the consolidation of a category increasingly valued by consumers thanks to its nutritional profile, versatility, and adaptation to new food trends. 

A Product with Tradition and Future 

Nuts have been part of the Mediterranean diet for centuries, but their current popularity is linked to the growing interest in healthier and more sustainable products. Today, they are a highlight both on supermarket shelves and in professional kitchens: served as natural snacks, used in baking, as salad toppings, or as essential ingredients in vegan and functional recipes. 

This boom also reflects a more informed consumer who values quality, traceability, and the origin of what they eat. This is where the industry plays a key role in ensuring increasingly demanding standards. 

Importaco’s Commitment to Nuts 

In this context, Importaco has established itself as an international benchmark in the sector. Our activity focuses on offering nuts of the highest quality, working hand in hand with farmers, suppliers, and customers to ensure responsible and efficient processes. 

Our global presence allows us to access the best raw materials and apply sustainability criteria throughout the entire value chain: from regenerative agriculture and water resource optimization to waste reduction and the promotion of a circular economy in our production plants. 

Thanks to this vision, we are accompanying the evolution of a market that is not only growing in volume but also in responsibility and commitment to the planet. For us, it’s not just about producing more, but producing better—integrating values of trust, commitment, and responsibility into every decision. 

Innovation at the Service of the Consumer 

The growth of this sector is also driven by innovation in formats, flavors, and presentations. At Importaco, we work constantly on developing new products that meet the needs of industrial and retail customers, offering solutions tailored to current consumption trends: gluten-free products, clear labeling, clean label options, and more sustainable alternatives in packaging and processes. 

Our investment in innovation enables us to expand our range and enhance the consumer experience, strengthening our leadership in a market as dynamic as that of nuts. 

A Future Full of Opportunities 

The evolution of the nut sector demonstrates that it is possible to grow with purpose. The challenge now is to continue promoting responsible practices, collaborating across the entire supply chain, and listening to consumers to remain a part of their daily lives. 

At Importaco, we remain committed to this vision. We firmly believe that nuts are not only a healthy and versatile food, but also an opportunity to continue building a sustainable business model that creates value for the environment, the market, and every person who places their trust in us.
