Turkey's tropical fruit exports experienced a significant growth of 85% in 2021, generating $13 million, and the first half of 2022 already reached $7.9 million. The country is actively negotiating land leases for agricultural production in Venezuela and Ukraine, aiming for both export and domestic use. The product range has expanded, including papaya, mango, pineapple, dragon fruit, coconut, passion fruit, and blueberry. The UK and Germany are the main markets for mango and blueberry exports, respectively. In the first half of 2022, exports to Russia, Romania, and the UK saw notable increases. With expectations to reach $20 million in 2022, tropical fruit exports are a key part of Turkey's strategy to grow its fresh fruit and vegetable exports, which hit $551 million in the first half of the year, with a goal of reaching $1.5 billion in 2022.
