The 2017 export season begins for dried apricots from Turkey

 

The government is supporting export development with a low interest rate, low cost air transportation, and recently a controlled geographical name. The dried apricot exported from this region will bear the name: "Malatya's apricot".

 

With this in mind, the creation of licensed deposits and an apricot-specific exchange should make it possible to obtain a flawless marketing chain that will benefit all consumers in the sector and at the end of the chain.

 

As in the case of the hazelnut sector, a fund could also be set up for apricots in order to increase their market share.

 

Dry apricots are currently exported to around 111 countries.
