Turkey is targeting to export 300 thousand tons of hazelnuts in the 2022-2023 season, with a forecasted foreign exchange earnings of 2 billion dollars. In the first three months of the export season, the country successfully exported 95,878 tons, generating 538 million 695 thousand 343 dollars. Despite a slight decrease in exports to some European and Asian countries due to their economic conditions, there has been an increase in exports to Germany, France, Russia, Libya, and Slovakia. The Black Sea Hazelnut and Products Exporters' Association is optimistic that exports will accelerate after the New Year, with expectations of increased demand from countries like Italy, China, and Poland. Hazelnut production covers 725 thousand hectares of land between the Georgian border and Istanbul, and the product is exported to 120 countries in various forms, with efforts underway to expand into alternative markets.
