Turkey has experienced a significant increase in pine nut exports, with a 55% rise in the first 11 months compared to the same period last year, totaling $38.62 million. This marks a substantial increase from the $26.51 million recorded in 2018 and the $28.73 million in 2019. The quantity of pine nut exports also grew by 33% from 455 tons to 606 tons. Italy has been the primary market for these exports, seeing a 93% increase in imports, reaching $29.63 million. Other significant importers include Germany and Spain. However, pine nut producer Önder Özdemir has raised concerns about the early harvest leading to a decrease in quality and potential yield loss.
