Nuts constitute an important component in the European food market as they are consumed both fresh as well as being used as inputs for the food processing industry. The cultivation of nuts is widespread in almost all Mediterranean countries accounting for a significant proportion of their total agricultural production and trade, while for some they even are their main exporting agricultural commodities. In this paper an overview of the nut sector in Greece is presented, together with some econometric tests on corresponding time series data set. In Greece nuts are well incorporated in the consumers' diet and per capita consumption is large. Yet, increased competition from other producing countries and small farm size impede further growth of the sector in terms of producing and exporting volumes. Unit root tests on domestic production and consumption show that the data series are integrated of order one and cointegration analysis reveals that there is a certain linkage between domestic production and per capita consumption of nuts.
