Turkey is striving to become the global leader in peach and nectarine exports, with a target of reaching $200 million in revenue for 2022. The Aegean Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Exporters' Association has declared 2022 as the 'Year of Combating Pesticides' and is implementing various projects to reduce pesticide use and map residue levels. Selçuk, a prominent area for peach production, is included in these initiatives. The region, known for its agricultural production, is receiving support from the Institute for Control in combating diseases and pests like the Mediterranean fruit fly and the oriental virus.
