The typical citrus harvest is anticipated to reach 6.4 million tons during the 2023-2024 period just in Mersin, Adana and Hatay provinces. An all-time record of 7 million tons is predicted by 2023 due to the expansion of the other Turkish provinces.
Citrus (lemon, orange, grapefruit, tangerine, etc.) production has gone up. In the event that these fruits cannot be sold the production will be confined to the the domestic market. This is why an amount of 2250 lira per tonne is needed in order to ensure the export of citrus fruit is supported by 23 chambers, unions organizations and associations in Adana, Mersin and Hatay.
In remembrance of the fact the fact that 1.9 million tonnes of oranges were shipped out last year, as well as 3 million tons of the same consumed on the market in the country This assessment was made for this period “According according to the estimates, even if only two million tons of the projected Turkish manufacturing of 7 million tons are exported, five million tons of it will be used in the domestic market for consumption.”
