Malawi's 2024 import records distinguish in-shell macadamias from shelled nuts

Buyers comparing Malawi's macadamia trade need to keep the two product forms apart. Malawi's annual 2024 import partner records in UN Comtrade list 15,000 kg net weight of in-shell macadamias from Mozambique and 57,500 kg from Zimbabwe. A separate record lists 5 kg net weight of shelled macadamias from South Africa. These are reported trade entries for a past calendar year, rather than a forecast of today's market.

The in-shell entries use HS 080261; the shelled entry uses HS 080262. Those classifications distinguish fresh or dried macadamias by whether the shell is present. Combining their weights would blur that distinction, so this report keeps the quantities on their original product bases and makes no shell-to-kernel conversion. The kilograms reported here are net weight, not monetary import value or an estimate of Malawi's orchard output.

The three partner entries are marked as reported rather than aggregate rows in the retrieved dataset. The same preview also contains World aggregate rows, which are a different record type and are not additional origins. This is one Malawi-reported statistical source distributed by UN Comtrade; separate trading partners do not provide independent corroboration of the figures.

The official public preview was retrieved on 7 October 2026. Its export does not supply a publication date, which remains unknown; 2024 is the reporting period and must not be relabelled as the release date. This bounded report describes the returned partner rows. It does not establish current-year imports, a market trend, missing trade, or the completeness of Malawi's wider macadamia dossier.
