The United States is the world's leading exporter of cherries while Turkey is the world's largest cherry producer. Turkey is currently the largest exporter of cherries in Europe thanks to its transport by refrigerated truck that allows the maintenance of the cold chain and the use of advanced technology in the packaging and calibration allowing to obtain fruit of high quality while the United States, have been withdrawn from the market because of too high transportation costs .
CEO ALARA FIDAN, one of the largest exporters of cherries, says
this season large shipments were made to Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore and in the coming years exports of Turkish cherries in this region should increase significantly.
