Nuts insights

The price of Vietnamese areca nuts exported to the billion-people market skyrocketed when a large output of areca nuts grown on Hainan Island was damaged by a storm. As soon as the supply in China recovered, the price of areca nuts quickly plummeted.

The Southeastern Anatolia Dried Fruits and Products Exporters' Association Board of Directors met with Gaziantep Governor Kemal Çeber regarding the difficulties experienced by dried fruit exporters.

Hazelnut production in Spain, which is mainly concentrated in Catalonia, is expected to fall by 40% in the 2024-2025 campaign and will drop to 4,100 tonnes of hazelnuts in shell, compared to 6,800 tonnes in the 2023-2024 campaign, which was already 17% lower than the previous one. The Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives of Catalonia (FCAC), which released these data at the bilateral meeting between the European Union and Turkey, warns that this is one of the lowest harvests in history. The meeting of the hazelnut producing countries of the European Union - Spain, France and Italy - with Turkey (which is the main world producer) deals with the evolution of hazelnut production, prices and the market. For this reason, the European Commission, a delegation from the Turkish government and the member organisations of COPA-COGECA (an organisation that brings together European agricultural unions and agricultural cooperatives), including FCAC, are taking part.
