Tridge summary

In 2023, Ukraine's walnut industry has seen a shift towards larger companies taking over from small, private family farms, which have seen a decrease in control from 95% in 2015 to 74% currently. Despite this change, the industry has managed to maintain production levels through increased efficiency and irrigation. Ukraine's walnut production is estimated to be 106,000 tons, which is more than enough for its domestic population of 6.5 million, allowing for 85,000 tons to be exported. The European Union is the primary market for these exports, making Ukraine the second largest supplier of shelled walnuts to the EU after the USA and before China.

The average plantation size per plant is already between 20 and 50 hectares. The stocks in the central and southern parts of Ukraine were also irrigated, so despite the trend-like decrease in the total nut area, the Ukrainian production did not fluctuate. The domestic nut crop, estimated at 106,000 tons, is far from being consumed by the reduced population of 6.5 million, requiring 23-24,000 tons. Together with the reserves, 85,000 tons of shelled and shelled walnuts may leave the country after this year's harvest. About a third of the export volume is shelled, the rest shelled nuts. Last year, stocks were still so large that 94,000 tons of the same-sized ...
