Turkey plays a significant role in the global citrus market, with a focus on exporting oranges. The success of these exports depends on product quality, marketing, transportation, and customer demand. The country also imports citrus fruits for various reasons, some of which can be reduced by improving domestic processing and storage. There is potential for reducing imports by using domestic products in the food industry and by improving storage conditions and transportation. By extending the production season and introducing new, high-quality citrus varieties, Turkey can enhance its competitiveness in the export market. In 2020, citrus exports from Turkey experienced a 24% growth, reaching $933.1 million, with mandarins being the most exported fruit.
