France is a small producer of hazelnuts 11,000 tons per year (hazelnut shell), which represents no more than 1% of world production. It imports more than 20,000 tons of hazelnuts, mainly from Turkey (15,315 tons) and Italy (3,657 tons).
Hazelnuts are not produced everywhere. We have chosen to settle in its preferred basin: the South-West of France (Lot et Garonne, Duras).
