Import market for Hazelnut in Italy (6월, 2022)

The International Nut Council Congress's round table on hazelnuts has reported an uptick in production from the primary hazelnut-producing countries, with Turkey leading the charge. Despite a slight decrease from the record harvest of 2021/22, Turkey's harvest for the 2022/23 season is projected to reach 760 thousand tons. Italy's production is on the mend after a poor harvest last year, but a severe drought has slightly diminished the forecast for the 2022/23 crop. The US, with an expanding planted area in Oregon, is expected to see a significant increase in production for the 2022/23 season, marking a new high of 74 thousand tons. The report also highlights improvements in productivity and quality across producing countries.
