Walnut bejgli will be significantly more expensive this Christmas than ever before

This year’s crop was a disappointment

“Although in the first half of the year it seemed that the sector was looking forward to a good season, a lower yield was achieved due to the summer drought. Since only a fraction of the plantations in our country are irrigated, the summer heat and low rainfall had a negative impact on the harvest. Although there were no complaints about the number of pieces, the size of the nut casings in most cases – especially on non-irrigated plantations – was less than usual, therefore the weight of the total crop was also below average”
