The fruit and nut farming market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.7 trillion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for nutrient-rich foods, growing market for organic produce, increasing adoption of sustainable farming practices, expansion of export-oriented fruit and nut farming, rising popularity of specialty and exotic varieties. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for high-value fruit and nut varieties, growing shift toward organic fruit and nut farming, rising adoption of climate-resilient fruit and nut cultivation, expansion of specialty fruit and nut production for premium markets, higher demand for fresh and processed fruit and nut products.
The growing awareness of health among consumers is expected to drive the expansion of the fruit and nut farming market in the coming years. Consumer health awareness refers to the knowledge and understanding individuals possess regarding healthy lifestyle choices, nutrition, and the effects of their diet and habits on overall well-being. This awareness is increasing as more people become concerned about chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease and seek to adopt healthier diets and lifestyles to prevent them. Rising consumer health awareness fuels demand for nutritious and natural foods, motivating farmers to cultivate more fruits and nuts to meet the preferences of health-conscious consumers. For example, in June 2024, the International Food Information Council (IFIC), a U.S.-based nonprofit organization, reported that over the past year, 54% of Americans followed a specific diet or eating pattern. A majority focused on increasing protein intake, which rose from 59% in 2022 to 67% in 2023, and further to 71% in 2024. Additionally, around half of consumers aimed to consume more fresh foods, widely regarded as some of the healthiest dietary options. Consequently, the rise in consumer health awareness is driving growth in the fruit and nut farming market.
Major companies operating in the fruit and nut farming market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions such as digital decision-support tools to enhance crop management and boost yield efficiency. Digital decision-support tools are software platforms that leverage data and analytics to help farmers make informed decisions by analyzing weather, soil, and pest information to optimize practices, lower costs, and improve yields. For instance, in June 2025, Michigan State University (MSU), a U.S.-based agricultural research and extension institution, launched the MI Fruit Decision website, a free online platform designed to assist apple growers in making informed pest management choices. The tool allows users to organize management plans according to tree growth stages, specific pests, or control options, providing detailed information on pesticide efficacy, application rates, safety intervals, and usage restrictions. The website consolidates research-based data from MSU’s E154 Fruit Management Guide and other Extension resources to improve pest control efficiency and support sustainable fruit production practices.
