Strong harvest expected to boost Türkiye’s cherry exports
Türkiye is expected to see a rise in cherry exports this year, supported by high yield expectations in a country that produces around 700,000 tons of cherries annually.
According to data from the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM) and the Agriculture and Forestry Ministry, the western Mediterranean region remains the leading hub for both cherry production and exports in Türkiye.
Mehmet Ali Can, head of the Western Mediterranean Exporters’ Association (BAİB), said the harvest season, which typically runs from late May to the end of July,
started later than usual this year due to climatic factors. He added that the season is now expected to continue until the end of August.
