The cherry harvest has commenced in TOKAT, with the '0900' variety produced in Akyamaç and Kemalpaşa villages being exported to Germany, Iraq, Russia, and Switzerland. The harvest is expected to yield twice as much as last year, with over 10,000 tons produced. The majority of the population in these villages relies on fruit production, with the harvest employing around 2,000 people. Orhan Şahin, the Provincial Director of Agriculture and Forestry, anticipates a 15% increase in yield and a high-quality harvest due to favorable weather conditions.
