Turkey: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual
MY2016 is expected to be a good year for all deciduous fruits in Turkey. In terms of apples, a hot dry summer led to an early harvest where many apple varieties throughout Turkey ripened early and were picked at a relatively short period of time. This has led to a flood of produce in the market and a steep decline in prices. The sector is trying to find new export markets, and Russia comes forth as an opportunity in this respect. Pear and grape production is also higher compared to the previous year.
