Walnut Market Overview
The walnut market in Turkey is booming and has been for some time. This is due, in part, to the country's vast reserves of walnuts. Turkey is the world's leading producer of walnuts, accounting for nearly 7% of global production. Most Turkish walnuts are grown in the Black Sea region, home to the country's largest walnut processors and exporters.
Prices usually peak in early autumn, just before the harvest, and then drop off sharply afterwards. This is due to increased supply and lower demand at that time of year. However, prices can also be affected by political factors, such as trade disputes or embargoes.
The increase in walnut prices is due to a number of factors, including higher demand from China and other Asian countries, and a decrease in production in Turkey due to bad weather conditions.
