Turkiye: Citrus Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   TU2023-0042
Fruit and vegetable prices in Türkiye reached their highest point in 2023 due to both high inflation and the country’s struggle with high yield on citrus fruits. In MY 2023/24, citrus production in Türkiye is expected to increase around 90 percent to 7 million metric tons (MMT) due to favorable weather conditions in the spring and newly planted orchards in recent years. However, it is reported by Turkish producers that there are quality and fruit size issues due to low rainfall in spring 2023. Producers and exporters note that the Support Price Stabilization Fund (DFIF), which needs to be $80 per ton, is critical to their future profitability related to surplus production.
