Turkey: Citrus Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

In Marketing Year (MY) 2019/20, Turkish lemon production, especially the interdonat variety, is expected to be negatively affected by unstable weather conditions last spring and fall. The interdonat variety is the most exported lemon variety and therefore Turkish total citrus exports are expected to slightly decrease in value and quantity. Also strict rules of importing countries such as Russia on pesticides, as well as economic turmoil in Iraq are expected to impact exports of tangerines and oranges. Mediterranean fruit fly is still the biggest concern among producers and it has been affecting Turkey`s citrus exports for years, especially to Russia. In MY 2018/19, nearly 30,000 MT of fruits and vegetables from Turkey were rejected by Russia due to harmful flies.
