Turkey: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

MY2015 is expected to be a good year for apples and pears after the substantial drop in yields the previous year. Apple production is expected to be 2,540,000 MT and pear production is expected to be 395,000 MT. On the contrary, grape production is expected to be down 16 percent to 1,885,000 MT due to frost damage in the Aegean region. Exports of all deciduous fruits increased to Russia in MY 2014 due to Russia’s import ban on European products and the increase was especially substantial in apples (from 319 MT to 11,848 MT) even though there was an overall decrease in apple exports as a result of decreased production.
