From January to October 2021, Turkey saw a 33% increase in pistachio exports compared to the previous year, reaching $ 158.25 million. The country exported 15,126 tons of pistachios to 103 countries, with Italy being the leading importer. The region of Anlıurfa, known for its large number of pistachio trees, has played a significant role in this production and export growth. Mehmet Kaya, the Chairman of the Sanlıurfa Provincial Trade Exchange, anticipates further growth in export figures by the end of the year, which is expected to benefit the Turkish economy and trade sector.
