The Aegean Dried Fruits and Products Exporters' Association in Turkey is taking steps to increase the yield and quality of dried figs by distributing sourness bug traps, field nets, and harvesting nets. The association has also been running the 'Dried Figs with Aflatoxin Project' since 2000, collecting and destroying figs containing aflatoxin to prevent harm to human health. In the 2019/20 season, dried fig exports surpassed the previous season, with a 16% increase in amount and a 5% increase in value, reaching 67,460 tons and bringing in 233 million 452 thousand dollars in foreign exchange revenue. The main importers of Turkish dried figs were Germany, France, and the United States.
