Favorable weather conditions and rainfall have boosted the yield of many fresh fruits in Türkiye, with exports from the sector topping $1 billion (TL 48.14 billion) for the first time in the January-July period, according to a report on Wednesday.
Higher yields have enabled exporters to meet foreign demand with regular and high-quality products.
The increase in production was also supported by Türkiye's logistical advantage of being close to European markets.
Accordingly, Türkiye's fresh fruit exports in the January-July period rose by 59% compared to the same period last year, increasing from $631.66 million to $1.005 billion, according to data compiled by Anadolu Agency (AA) from the Aegean Exporters’ Association.
Thus, for the first time, the sector surpassed the $1 billion export mark in the January-July period.
