Tridge summary

Walnut alleys and forest belts in central and southern Moldova are in poor condition due to damage from severe frost in 2020, flooding in 2022, and diseases. The small harvest this year will result in low-quality nuts that may tarnish the image of Moldovan products in the European Union. The government may fine those who collect nuts on an industrial scale from these areas, but the policy's certainty is uncertain. With expected decreased walnut yields in the European Union and extreme heat in the United States, the European nut market supply will be small, leading to increased prices. This situation highlights the need for better care of industrial orchards and potentially resumes the demand for nuts collected from alleys along roads and forest belts in Moldova.

A significant number of trees have partially or completely dried out, many are affected by diseases. Apparently, the harvest from these “fishing grounds” - collected by everyone who decides to do so - for sale to buyers-procurers this year will be small.

As the chairman of the Association of Walnut Growers of Moldova (ANRM) Oleg Tirsine notes in this regard, “the problem of walnut alleys and forest belts has seriously worsened since 2020, when these lands were significantly damaged by severe frosts in the first ten days of March.” In subsequent years, there were no particularly severe frosts in the spring. But it is worth considering that the alleys along the roads and forest belts at one time were laid out mainly on the basis of early walnut varieties of ...
