Wholesale walnut prices on the European market
Walnuts are a major tree nut commodity in European trade, valued for their nutritional profile and versatile culinary uses. France, Romania, and Ukraine are significant European producers, while California and Chile dominate global exports to the EU. On the Fresh-market.info portal, we publish daily wholesale prices and market reports from major exchanges and wholesale markets in Poland (including Bronisze, Wroclaw, Poznan), as well as key EU countries — France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands.
What types of walnuts do we track?
For precise market analysis, we divide quotations into several important segments relevant to traders and processors:
- In-shell walnuts: whole walnuts sold for retail and seasonal markets, with pricing based on size, shell quality, and fill rate
- Shelled walnut kernels: halves, quarters, and pieces graded by colour (light, amber, dark) for bakery, confectionery, and snack industries
- Walnuts by origin: French Grenoble, Californian Chandler, and Chilean varieties each have distinct quality profiles and price points
Factors influencing walnut prices
Walnut prices are influenced by Californian harvest volumes and carry-over stocks, Chinese demand on the global market, currency exchange rates (USD/EUR), drought conditions in key growing regions, and increasing demand from the plant-based food sector. Chilean counter-season supply also affects European pricing dynamics. Using price charts on Fresh-market.info, wholesale buyers and processors can track historical trends and forecast price changes to secure the most favorable deals.
The Republic of Moldova produces approximately 23,000 tons of walnuts in shells annually from around 18,000 hectares of orchards. According to sector data presented at a conference commemorating 20 years of activity of the Nut Growers Association of the Republic of Moldova, the country ranks 11th.
