FROM TURKEY TO THE WORLD

In 2020, 17 million 745 thousand dollars were earned in exchange for the export of 18 thousand 500 tons of strawberries to 40 countries. Whereas this year, 37 thousand 747 tons of strawberries were exported to 40 countries for 41 million 642 thousand dollars in the same period. Nearly 60 percent of exports were made to Russia, followed by Romania, Iraq, and Georgia. Strawberries also have a competitive advantage in the market since they ripen when fresh fruit is scarce. Turkey’s strawberry production and exports are increasing rapidly. Strawberry production in Turkey started in the 1970s and reached a large production capacity in a short time. They are grown in the Sultanhisar district of Aydın and are especially preferred abroad due to their quality, taste, and long shelf life.
