Italian chestnut market trends and demand
Overview
The Italian chestnut market is experiencing shifts in consumer behavior and regional demand. Data indicates that while fresh chestnuts remain the largest segment, there is significant growth in dried and pre-cooked varieties, which command higher prices per kilo.
In addition to domestic trends, there is rising demand for Italian chestnuts and marrons in European markets, specifically Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Despite summer weather conditions resulting in smaller fruit sizes, companies like Mitica report strong performance. To manage harvest costs associated with smaller fruit, higher payments have been implemented for producers. Supply is directed toward supermarkets through early January, after which the market shifts toward specialty shops and convenience snack brands.
