Tridge summary
In Aydın, which meets 42 percent of Turkey's harvest in chestnut production, the chestnuts collected from the trees and filled into the wells in October were removed from the wells where they were kept with their prickly shells, and the process of separating them from their shells was started with special threshing machines. Chestnuts bought by traders in various regions and chestnut orchards are exported to different countries of the world. In the mountain villages of Aydın, where chestnut production is very high, chestnuts are extracted from their thorny cones as a result of the operations performed with a chestnut forging machine connected to a tractor.

The chestnuts, which are sold wholesale between 10 TL and 35 TL per kilo, make the producers smile. While there is an annual production of approximately 60-65 thousand tons of chestnut in Turkey, approximately 25 thousand tons of this is produced in the mountains of Aydın and İzmir.
