Spain's hazelnut production is projected to drop by 40% in the 2024-2025 campaign, reaching 4,100 tonnes, due to severe drought and climate change impacts. Water restrictions, especially from a persistent drought in the first half of 2024, and the rise of pests due to climate change have hit both irrigated and dryland plantations. The Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives of Catalonia (FCAC) warns that the decline threatens the viability of many plantations, putting at risk a key crop for Catalonia's rural economy and environmental balance. The FCAC will discuss these issues with the European Union and Turkey, a major hazelnut producer, to address market dynamics and seek solutions to support the sector.

According to the Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives of Catalonia (FCAC), this situation represents one of the lowest harvests in recent history and reflects the severe impact of drought and climate change on the sector. The decline in production is mainly linked to water restrictions, aggravated by the persistent drought during the first half of 2024, the third consecutive year of extremely adverse conditions for the crop. In areas irrigated by the Riudecanyes reservoir, the lack of water has led to the implementation of severe limitations on irrigation, which has affected both irrigated and dryland plantations, the latter being especially vulnerable to the scarcity of water resources. The FCAC warns that the situation threatens ...
