Grenada Nutmeg & Mace Market- Trend Analysis & Forecasts

Grenada produced 668.48 tonnes of dry nutmeg in 2023, with a projected CAGR of 3.03% (2020–2030). The market is driven by rising demand in meat processing and spice manufacturing, while government initiatives focus on plantation expansion and productivity improvements. However, adverse weather remains a key challenge.

Key Research & Analysis Areas
The report offers valuable insights into the supply-demand dynamics of the Grenada Nutmeg & Mace market. It covers market growth, trade trends, structure, and performance analysis. It includes historical (2010-2023) and forecasted market size (to 2030), trade data, pricing, regulatory frameworks, supply chain mapping, and key suppliers and buyers. Additionally, it profiles major competitors and examines factors influencing market performance, including sustainability trends.

Global Significance & Supply Trends
As a leading producer, Grenada’s nutmeg and mace industry contributes significantly to its economy. Favorable climate conditions support high-quality production, though hurricanes and droughts have impacted supply. Government efforts to rehabilitate plantations have aided recovery, yet extreme weather in 2024 led to a sharp production decline.

Market Demand & Growth Factors
Most nutmeg and mace exports go to North America and Europe, with Canada, the Netherlands, and the USA as key buyers. The market benefits from increasing demand in food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries, driven by rising health consciousness and expanding culinary applications.

Challenges & Supply Chain Issues
Climate vulnerability, pests, and global competition pose challenges. Infrastructure gaps, logistics inefficiencies, and inconsistent quality control impact exports. The government aims to shift toward value-added nutmeg products like oils and extracts to enhance market competitiveness.

Trade, Pricing & Future Outlook
In 2023, Grenada’s nutmeg exports were valued at USD 5.23 million, driven by strong demand from North America and Europe, particularly from buyers in Canada, the Netherlands, and the USA. The country is renowned for its premium-quality nutmeg, which commands higher prices in the global market. However, Grenada faces growing competition from Indonesia and India, both of which have significantly larger production capacities and lower-cost supply chains, influencing global pricing dynamics.

Currently, export prices for Grenadian nutmeg range between USD 11–12 per kg, reflecting the premium associated with its quality. Despite this advantage, increased production from competing countries exerts downward pressure on prices, making it essential for Grenada to enhance its market positioning.
