The Union of Nut Producers Associations of the Republic of Moldova reports that large agricultural enterprises have started exporting the first batches of the 2022 walnut harvest. The delivery dates have not been decided yet, but they could happen as soon as this week if requested by European buyers. The export price for in shell walnuts is expected to be similar to last year, around 2.4-2.8 euros per kilogram. Individual trading companies in Moldova have also started harvesting trial batches of walnut kernels, but the slow process is due to lower first purchase prices than last year.
