Turkey: Raisin Annual
Raisin production forecast in Turkey for marketing year (MY) 2019/20 is 310,000 metric tons (MT), up from MY 2017/18 due to favorable weather conditions in the Aegean region. Turkey exports more than 90 percent of its domestic raisin production due to stable demand from Europe for sultana variety raisins. Exports are expected to increase to 280,000 MT in MY 2019/20 in parallel with the increase in production.
