In the first half of 2022, Turkey saw substantial growth in its hazelnut exports, reaching 149,701 tons and earning $835.97 million from 124 countries, with Germany, Italy, and France being the top buyers. Trabzon alone accounted for 30% of these exports, generating $250.66 million. The Turkish hazelnut industry remains optimistic about further growth in the latter half of the year, despite challenges such as increased production and energy costs. The industry also seeks support for producers and exporters in terms of financing and production costs. With a favorable weather forecast, expectations for the hazelnut harvest remain high.
