Tridge summary

Turkmenistan, a Central Asian country known for its closed market, is gradually opening up to the international fruit and vegetable trade, with a steady growth in apple imports. In 2021, Turkmenistan imported about 41 thousand tons of fresh apples, and this figure increased by 20-22% in 2022 to 50 thousand tons. This makes Turkmenistan a significant market for apple imports, currently dominated by apples from Iran. Eastern European countries like Moldova, Ukraine, and Poland are advised to consider this market. Other countries like Türkiye and Uzbekistan also supply apples to Turkmenistan.
