India: Walnut production likely to jump 50% to 45,000t

Oct 21, 2011

India’s walnut production is expected to rise by 50 per cent to a record 45,000 tonnes in the 2011-12 marketing year, but adverse weather conditions could hit output by 20 per cent, says a USDA report. The country produced about 30,000 tonnes in the 2010-11 marketing year (August-July), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) said in a report. “However, adverse weather conditions could always lower the crop estimate by 5-20 per cent, as reflected in last year’s (2010-11) production,” the report said. Heavy rains and abnormal weather during the flowering season in August last year reduced the output to about 30,000 tonnes.
