Dried fruits and nuts are the only fruit family in decline over three months. In the data to 4 November 2026, the mean move across 19 indexed materials is -2.0% over three months and -2.4% over one year; 14 are down and 5 up. The family lists 23 materials, from raisins and currants to tree nuts, peanuts and almond paste.

A note dated 20 October reported Turkish raisin prices falling as the new crop increased supply, while Indian and Afghan raisins were firm on 24 October.

News on 10 August reported an abundant harvest in Roraima, and a report dated 20 October described EU Brazil nut prices as stable. Hazelnuts lost 7.1% and are 8.5% lower on the year; Turkish export prices were reported lower on 19 October amid concerns over crop quality.
Macadamia nuts eased 5.3%; on 3 September, growing volumes were reported to be outpacing demand, with prices falling. Several nuts are close to flat: walnut -0.8%, cashew nuts and peanuts -1.0%. Pecan nuts are also down 1.0% over three months but up 15.3% on the year.
Pistachios head the risers at +5.7%; on 19 October, a note described global supply as shrinking and prices as still high. Pine nuts gained 4.8%, and 26.4% over a year, more than any other material in the family; in late August, Italian pine nuts were described as increasingly expensive and rare. Dried coconut (+3.1%) and almond paste (+2.2%) complete the risers.
