Ukraine: Tree Nuts Annual
Ukraine is forecast to produce 113,000 metric tons (MT) of walnuts in marketing year (MY) 2017/18 – an increase of four percent over MY 2016/17 production levels, due to more favorable weather conditions in 2017. Industrial walnut production is slowly gaining ground in the country. Exports are expected to consume over half of Ukrainian walnut production. MY 2017/18 exports are forecast at 73,000 MT, eight percent higher than MY2016/17. The European Union and the Middle East are expected to remain major external markets.
