Nueces/Turquía: sin cambios sería la producción en 2022/23

For MY 2022/23, walnut production is forecast at 67,000 MT, nearly unchanged from the previous year. Favorable weather conditions helped keep year-to-year production levels stable. Precipitation during the winter and spring was better than the previous year. However, there was some minor hail and frost damage to orchards in the Anatolian region, located in the southeastern part of the country, that will affect production.

Walnut trees grow in almost every province of the country, but commercial walnut orchards are still a relatively new phenomenon in Turkey. The GoT has instituted various programs to increase commercial production. allocating free land for 49-years, providing interest-free financing, and delivering general support payments to farmers. This support has spurred farmers and others in the private sector over the last couple of decades to open new orchards throughout the country, including the Aegean, Marmara, southeastern Anatolia, and Mediterranean regions. However, even with these new orchards, the domestic production of walnuts is still inadequate to meet the growing demand of Turkish consumers.
