Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the market volume for apples, pears and quinces in Turkey grew from 4.0 million tonnes to 4.7 million tonnes. This expansion was supported by continuous projects to improve fruit quality and yield through integrated pest management and advanced fertilization techniques, driven by major agricultural companies. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 caused global logistics disruptions and higher transport costs, which reduced exports and increased domestic supply, contributing to market growth.

Market volume continued to rise, reaching 5.1 million tonnes in 2022, despite increased exports to Russia and higher fuel prices that raised production and distribution costs. During 2022, consumer purchasing power declined and market price controls tightened, altering demand patterns. In 2023, severe agricultural frosts led to a 59% loss in quince production, causing overall market volume to drop to 4.9 million tonnes and triggering record price increases.
