Premium Moldovan Walnuts,
Direct to Your Production Line
EU procurement managers face a structural problem: over-dependence on US and Chinese walnut origins creates price volatility, traceability gaps, and supply chain fragility. Moldova is Europe's answer — and Cima Group is the direct connection.
The current reality
Sourcing through the old model
- Multiple intermediaries between producer and buyer, each adding cost and removing transparency
- Origin concentration risk — US and Chinese supply exposed to tariff and geopolitical disruption
- Traceability documentation is incomplete or difficult to obtain for EU food-safety compliance
- Price benchmarking is opaque — buyers have no direct market access to producer pricing
The Cima Group model
Sourcing direct from Moldova
- Direct producer-to-buyer connections — no unnecessary intermediaries, transparent pricing
- Diversify beyond US and Chinese origins with a geographically stable, Europe-proximate supplier base
- Full origin traceability and quality certification documentation aligned with EU food-safety standards
- Real market access — engage directly with verified producers and negotiate competitive terms

Procurement questions, answered directly
What volumes can Moldovan producers supply?
Moldova is one of Europe's most significant walnut-producing countries, with an established industry capable of meeting industrial volumes. During your sourcing consultation, we match your specific volume requirements with producers who can meet them — whether you are sourcing several tonnes or several hundred tonnes annually.
How does Cima Group verify its producers?
Every producer on the Cima Group platform has passed our verification process, which covers production capacity, quality standards, and the ability to provide traceability documentation aligned with EU food-safety requirements. We do not list producers who cannot meet these baseline standards.
What certifications can Moldovan walnut producers provide?
The certifications available vary by producer. During your sourcing consultation, we clarify exactly which quality and food-safety certifications your production process requires, and match you with producers who can provide the relevant documentation. We do not claim a blanket certification without confirming it for a specific supply relationship.
How does pricing work on the platform?
Cima Group is a direct marketplace: buyers and producers negotiate pricing directly, without hidden intermediary markups from our platform. You see producer pricing, compare offers, and negotiate terms — including seasonal volume agreements — directly with the producer.
What kernel grades and specifications are available?
Moldovan producers offer a range of walnut kernel grades, sizes, and processing specifications. Your sourcing brief specifies exactly what you need, and we match you with producers whose production capabilities align with your requirements. If you are unsure what specification fits your production, our consultation process can help clarify this.
What is the logistics and delivery arrangement?
Delivery terms (DAP, CIF, EXW, etc.) are agreed directly between buyer and producer as part of your commercial negotiation. Cima Group can provide guidance on logistics options and EU import documentation, but the delivery contract is yours to establish with your chosen producer.
We already have walnut suppliers. Why consider Moldova?
Most EU food manufacturers are significantly concentrated on US and Chinese walnut origins. Adding a Moldovan supply relationship diversifies your origin risk, provides a European-proximity alternative with shorter lead times, and gives you direct price leverage. A diversified supply base is procurement risk management — not a replacement for existing relationships.
Is there a cost to use Cima Group as a buyer?
Contact us for our current commercial model. The sourcing consultation is the starting point — there is no charge for the consultation itself, and it commits you to nothing.
