Between January and August of 2022, Düzce, a prominent hazelnut production center in Turkey, exported 11,849 tons of hazelnut kernels to the European Union. This representation accounts for 70 percent of the global hazelnut market and highlights Turkey's position as a leading exporter of hazelnuts. The production of hazelnuts in Turkey takes place across 39 provinces, covering 700 thousand hectares and involving thousands of farmers. The export data shows a decline compared to the same period in 2021, when Düzce exported 19,467 tons.
