Customer preferences: As consumer awareness about the health benefits of nuts continues to grow in Laos, there is a notable shift towards organic and sustainably-sourced nuts. This trend is also influenced by the country's traditional culture of using natural and locally-grown ingredients in their cuisine. Additionally, there has been an increase in demand for convenient and healthy snack options, leading to the popularity of single-serve nut packs and nut-based energy bars.
