Availability of treenuts

Definition

Amounts of treenuts available in a country's food supply (sum of production, imports, and net stocks minus exports, food manufacturing, feed, seed, waste, and other uses) at the national level (expressed as grams per person per day).

Relevance

Availability of nuts in the national food supply is a precursor to consumption of nuts, a component of the WHO's recommended healthy diet. Nuts may provide an important source of unsaturated fatty acids, protein, fibre, and other nutrients. Note that this indicator does not consider access or affordability of nuts among population subgroups.
