Turkey: Tree Nuts Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   TU2025-0052
Turkiye’s pistachio production in marketing year (MY) 2025/26 is forecast to decrease substantially due to multiple factors. This MY’s “off-year” crop will be less than half of last MY’s record high production. Carry-over stocks will somewhat compensate for the low production, but pistachio prices are expected to increase as will imports. While Turkiye’s production of tree nuts continues to grow, the country is expected to import substantial volumes of almonds and walnuts in MY 2025/26 to meet steady consumer demand. Imports of U.S. tree nuts are now at equal footing with other foreign competitors following Turkiye’s removal of its 10 percent retaliatory tariff. The United States will remain one of the top suppliers of walnuts, almonds, and pistachios to Turkiye.
