Turkey: Tree Nuts Annual
Turkey’s pistachio harvest is expected to reach record high levels for the Marketing Year (MY) 2018/19. Walnut production remains stable and almond production is slowly increasing, but strong consumer demand for these products mean continued imports are expected, though 2018/19 tree nut import levels are likely going to be lower than previous years. The United States is a major supplier of walnuts and almonds to Turkey, but additional tariffs are impacting trade.
