The 2026 Chilean walnut harvest is nearing completion, with the last deliveries expected within the next seven days. Compared to the previous season, the harvest started earlier. Despite the influence of El Niño, weather conditions - especially rainfall - did not have a significant negative impact.
However, the volumes from the central growing regions were below original expectations. Overall, production for the 2026 season is therefore currently expected to be around 8-10 % below the previous year's level estimated.
From a qualitative perspective, the picture is mixed, but positive overall:
Currently, only quantities for shipments with Loading from June available.
If you are planning your procurement for the coming months, we recommend early coordination to ensure availability.
Our team will be happy to provide you with further information or answer specific questions at any time.
