Oct. 2, 2023Nueces/Turquía: Se estima en 100 mil toneladas las importaciones para año comercial entrante
Walnut imports for MY 2023/24 are forecast to increase slightly year-over year to from 95,000 MT to 100,000 MT. The most important reason for the increase in imports was the increase in the exports. Turkish traders process and pack the imported walnuts to export to third countries.
Traders agree that Turkiye will continue to be a net importer of walnuts, since domestic production is insufficient and there is demand for high-quality products by Turkish consumers. Depending on the year ,around 40 to 50 percent of total walnut consumption is supplied through domestic production. Due to the strong demand for high quality walnuts in the Turkish market, the remaining amount is imported.
Chile narrowly surpassed the United States supplying walnuts to Turkiye in MY 2023/24, followed by China, Argentina, and Brazil. Additionally, U.S. walnuts are facing increasing competition from China and other markets due to price and seasonality considerations. Further, U.S. walnuts are disadvantaged by Turkiye’s retaliatory tariff, which encourages Turkish traders to buy from other countries.
