The United States is the most important supplier of tree nuts to the European Union. The EU imported $1.7 billion of tree nuts from the United States in 2012. In MY 2013/14, almond production in the EU is expected to reach 62,733 MT, lower than the previous year due to the lowest production figure in
Spain since 2004. Walnut production is expected to reach 106,500 MT, 3 percent lower than MY 2012/13. Pistachio production is expected to decrease by 12 percent to 6,030 MT, due mainly to the off production year in Greece.
