An overview of Chestnut´s production and market developments in Portugal

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Portugal is a major European producer of chestnut. This traditional production assumes major importance for Trás-os-Montes, a low-density region of northern Portugal. Currently chestnut faces several challenges (e.g., climate change, diseases and pests, and demographic and market developments) that threaten its future. This work intends to contribute to the sustainability of the Portuguese chestnut industry, by analysing its constraints and potentialities. Data includes market statistics from 2008-2017, and primary sources as industry stakeholders. Results show a global increase in the chestnut production area, although productivity weakness constrains the capability of supplying the market. This scenario is intensified by marketing problems, such as the low homogeneity of the fruit and conservation issues (chestnut moth and rot), the weight of the parallel market, and unfair competition of chestnut from non-Community countries. The chestnut supply chain is generally long and structured and organized with few industries and retailers and a significant number of producers. Portuguese chestnut is mainly sold to medium-sized companies, where is prepared to be sold fresh (nationally or abroad). However, the increase in processing capability of chestnut industry improves the added-value of the supply chain of national chestnut. All varieties of chestnut are adapted to fresh consumption, but are more or less appreciated due to their precocity, calibre and taste. However, the price listed for chestnuts is based on their size, and consumers do not distinguish the different varieties of chestnut. The consumption of nuts is still concentrated in a short time and connected to the traditional intake of nuts, toasted and/or cooked. Nonetheless, new forms of consumption are increasing, supported by growing demand for certain niche markets, to meet specific dietary needs such as gluten-free products, or nutritionally enriched products.
