Start of the Satsuma season

This variety, mainly produced in the Aegean region , was exported for a value of around 171 million USD during the 2013/2014 season and an increase of 7% is planned with the goal of 200 million USD for the 2014/2015 season.

Russia is the most important market for Turkish Satsuma but European markets have become a priority for Turkey due to a decline in sales in the Middle East because of the situation present in this part of the world.

In 2013/14 , the Satsuma was imported by 41 countries , with Russia leading the way (70 million USD), followed closely by Ukraine (53 million USD) . Iraq comes in 3rd place with over 19 million USD.
