Macadamia Market: Overview

Macadamia is an Australian rainforest tree with slender, glossy evergreen leaves and globular edible nuts. The macadamia trees mainly produce macadamia nuts recognized by different names such as Queensland nut, bush nut, maroochi nut, bauple nut, and Hawaii nut. They are round and have a leathery and thick husk that splits alongside during the ripening process. Macadamia nuts are reaped mechanically or gathered from the ground in different stages throughout the entire year, depending on the country of origin. Because flowering occurs over several months, macadamia nuts mature and drop to the ground over an extended period, so they must be harvested regularly.

The use of macadamia nuts in various breakfast and dietary recipes is also increasing due to the high nutritional quotient of the nuts. The largest producers of macadamia nuts are Australia and South Africa, followed by China, Kenya, the USA (Hawaii), Guatemala, Vietnam, and Malawi.
