In 2024, Greece leads in European walnuts production with a significant share of 24.18 thousand metric tons, showcasing a robust growth of 14.53% year-on-year. Romania follows with 21.13 thousand metric tons, showing a modest increase of 0.32%. France and Italy hold substantial shares with 15.35 and 7.76 thousand metric tons, respectively, with France experiencing a slight uptick and Italy marking a notable rise. Spain saw a moderate growth rate, while Portugal and Albania also recorded significant increases. Some countries like Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Austria, and Bulgaria faced declines, while Kosovo saw the highest surge of 33.09%. Conversely, Slovakia and Luxembourg saw substantial reductions, indicating possible challenges in these regions.
Future trends to watch for include Greece’s continued dominance and potential advancements in Romania and France’s production capabilities. Notable increments in Italy and Kosovo may signify emerging players, while traditionally low-producing countries like Slovakia might need strategic interventions to manage declines. Monitoring climate change impacts and technological adoption will be crucial for predicting shifts in walnut production across Europe.
