İZMİR
Türkiye’s cherry exports reached $235 million in the first seven-plus months of 2026, marking a dramatic recovery from a severe frost that devastated last year’s crop, an exporters’ trade group has reported.
Between Jan. 1 and Aug. 10, Turkish producers shipped 68,737 metric tons of cherries overseas, an 11-fold increase in volume compared to the 6,040 metric tons exported during the same period in 2025, according to data from the Aegean Exporters’ Associations (EİB).
Revenue quadrupled from the $47.7 million generated during the cold-damaged 2025 season.
