Ukraine: Tree Nuts Annual
Post forecasts Ukraine’s walnut production around 121 thousand metric tons (MT) in marketing year (MY) 2019/20. This is 5 percent below the official production estimate in MY 2018/19 due to worse weather conditions in 2019. Industrial walnut production is gaining ground in Ukraine, driven by state support. For MY2019/20, exports are forecast at over 85 thousand MT, a 14 percent decrease against MY2018/19. The European Union and the Middle East are expected to remain major export destinations.
