The supply of walnut kernels will increase on the Moldovan market in January

Representatives of the Union of Producers of Walnut Crops of Moldova note that at the end of last year the hopes of local walnut growers to increase demand from European buyers for inshell varietal nuts did not materialize. Moreover, there was no increase in requests for the purchase of not only the Moldavian-Ukrainian variety "Peschansky", but also the walnut of highly liquid varieties of foreign selection - "Chandler", "Fernor", etc. Wholesale purchase prices for inshell nuts, contrary to the expectations of farmers, did not have risen above $ 2 / kg. In this situation, some large walnut farms have been changing their strategy since the first days of 2021: they are not trying to sell inshell nuts, but are starting to process them - splitting and sorting.
