Nuts and dried fruits include a variety of edible plant-based products, such as seeds and dehydrated fruits, providing concentrated nutrients, flavors, and textures. They are commonly consumed as healthy snacks or used in culinary preparations. Macadamia nuts and dried fruits offer numerous health benefits, including essential nutrients, support for heart health, aid in weight management, and overall well-being. For example, in May 2023, according to the International Nut and Dried Fruit Council Foundation, a Spain-based nonprofit organization, global nut and dried fruit consumption slightly increased in the 2022/23 season, exceeding 3.1 million metric tons, while global tree nut production reached approximately 5.3 million metric tons in the same period. Therefore, rising consumption of nuts and dried fruits is fueling the macadamia market.

Leading companies in the macadamia market are prioritizing product launches, including oil processing plants, to enhance their offerings and cater to the increasing consumer demand for healthy and versatile food products. Oil processing plants are facilities designed to extract oil from various seeds and nuts using methods like cold pressing or refining, allowing for the production of high-quality edible oils for both culinary and industrial applications. For example, in June 2024, Kakuzi PLC, a Kenya-based agriculture firm, unveiled a macadamia oil processing plant. This facility is specifically dedicated to extracting oil from macadamia nuts, typically utilizing cold-pressing techniques to preserve the oil's flavor and nutrients. In addition to producing macadamia oil and gluten-free macadamia flour, this plant may also generate other products, such as glutamate, further enhancing the value of the nut.
