Romania: Tree Nuts Annual
Post forecasts that Romania’s walnut harvest in 2017 will decline by 3.2 percent from 2016 to 33,000 metric tons (MT), mostly due to unfavorable weather conditions. U.S. tree nut exports to Romania reached $8.3 million in 2016, with almonds accounting for 75 percent of U.S. tree-nuts exports. Tree-nut consumption growth in Romania is supported by changing consumer trends, including a growing interest in healthful food products and habits.
