Turkey earned 408 million 74 thousand dollars in 2023 from dried apricot exports, despite sending approximately 9 percent less product compared to the previous year. The Malatya apricot, a geographical indication registered product in the European Union, provides a significant foreign currency inflow to the country's economy. The industry is hopeful for the new year, with the Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of Malatya Commodity Exchange expressing the intention to close the year 2024 with even better figures for apricot exports.
