The article highlights a decrease in both the quantity and value of Turkey's hazelnut exports in the first 10 months of 2022, largely due to the energy crisis and recession in European markets. The total export weight was 239,934 tons, leading to a foreign currency inflow of $1,325,828,076, marking a 6% decrease in quantity and 23% decrease in value compared to the same period in the previous year. Mehmet CİRAV, Chairman of the Eastern Black Sea Exporters' Association, attributes the decline to reduced purchases and production capacity of manufacturers due to increased costs. He anticipates a slight revival of markets in the first half of 2023, provided that energy supply issues are resolved and inflation is controlled. The report also focuses on the challenges faced by the sector, including reduced demand and competition from other countries, and emphasizes the need for support, such as access to Eximbank loans and subsidies, to mitigate these challenges.
