The demand for walnuts has increased in the Iranian market due to the approaching Nowruz holidays in Iran, which increases the cost of this product in the domestic markets and global markets. Compared to last month, the price of foreign currencies has fallen by about 3 to 3,5 percent in the Iranian market, which raises the cost of Iranian walnuts in global markets. Compared to last month, the price of Iranian walnut for export has gone up 7 to 9,5 percent.
