  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   TU2021-0045

The apple production for Turkey in Marketing Year (MY) 2021/22 is expected to be 4.28 million metric tons (MMT), slightly less than the 4.3 MMT of apple production in MY 2020/2021 due to frost damage in some regions in late May. Total pear production is forecasted to be 535,000 MT, down about 3 percent from 550,000 MT of pear production in MY 2020/21. The table grape production forecast in Turkey for MY 2021/22 is about 1.94 MMT, 12 percent less than MY 2010/21 due to frost damage in the late spring. Fresh fruit exporters are hopeful for the new marketing year with a weak Turkish Lira supporting additional exports.
