Turkey: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual
In marketing year (MY) 2018/19, Turkey’s total apple crop is expected to increase to three million metric tons (MMT) and the pear crop to 450,000 MT due to favorable weather conditions during winter and flowering. The Turkey table grape production forecast for MY 2018/19 is 1,900,000 MT, down 10 percent from last year due to heavy rains during August in some parts of Manisa in the Aegean Region. Due to strong demand from neighboring countries, Turkey’s fresh deciduous fruit exports are increasing.
