Turkiye: Tree Nuts Annual

Turkiye’s pistachio production in marketing year (MY) 2024/25 is forecast to reach a new record due to multiple factors. Higher production volumes and larger-than-normal carryover stocks are expected to prompt sizeable export volumes of Turkish pistachios for the first time. While Turkiye’s production of tree nuts continues to grow, the country is expected to import substantial volumes of almonds and walnuts in MY 2024/25 to meet steady consumer demand. Imports of U.S. tree nuts continue to be disadvantaged by a 10 percent retaliatory tariff that was imposed because of U.S. Section 232 duties on Turkish steel and aluminum. However, despite this additional tax and growing competition, the United States is still the one of the top suppliers of walnuts, almonds and pistachios to Turkiye.
