Data and Analysis
India is a significant importer of almonds, walnuts and pistachios due to strong domestic demand and limited local production. Several factors are driving consistent growth in consumption, including a growing economy, rising incomes, the expansion of the middle class and increasing awareness of health benefits.
In Marketing Year (MY) 2025/26, walnut production is projected to decrease to 150,500 metric tons (MT), a 1.3 percent decline from MY 2024/25, due to reduced planted area and regular yields.
Post forecasts Ukraine’s walnut production at 100,500 metric tons (MT) for marketing year (MY) 2025/26, similar to Post’s previous MY estimate. Household production continues to fall as older, non-productive trees are being cut down.
