The main products in the dried fruit and products sector are sultanas, dried apricots, dried figs, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, roasted chickpeas, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, apricot and wild apricot kernels, other dried fruits and other roasted nuts. Traditionally, European Union countries have been the most important market for Türkiye's dried fruit exports, but shipments to newer markets such as China, Japan and the United Arab Emirates have been rising in recent years.
In the first quarter of 2024, 118,738 tonnes were shipped to 124 countries and free zones. The sector earned USD 497.6 million from these exports, 29.9 percent more than the USD 383.1 million recorded in the same period of 2023.
Türkiye's geographical position gives it a logistical advantage in exports. In recent years it has diversified its transport options, adding rail and air freight to sea and road routes, and its infrastructure allows shipments to move quickly.
