The international walnut market is entering a turbulent phase. Multiple factors are reshaping trade flows, creating both risks and opportunities for suppliers and buyers worldwide.
In Turkey, unfavorable weather conditions and crop damage have reduced both the quantity and quality of this year’s walnut production. At the same time, the United States has introduced new tariffs on agricultural imports from Turkey, making it more difficult and costly for Turkish exporters to access one of their key markets.
These combined pressures have forced global buyers to rethink their sourcing strategies. European importers, in particular, have been increasing their purchases from China, turning to one of the world’s largest producers to secure supply and stabilize their demand. This shift highlights how quickly trade routes can change in response to market disruptions.
For industry players, the message is clear: the walnut market is becoming more competitive than ever. Ensuring access to reliable supply sources and maintaining strong international trade partnerships will be critical to navigating this volatile environment.
