Fresh Apple Exporters in Turkey: A Complete Guide

In this article, we explore how to find fresh apple exporters in Turkey, what varieties are commonly exported, and how platforms like Turkish Agro simplify the entire sourcing process.


Why Choose Turkish Apples for Export?

Turkey ranks among the top 5 apple producers in the world, with an annual production exceeding 4 million tons. Major apple-producing regions include:

  • Isparta (Red Delicious & Granny Smith)

  • Niğde (Golden Delicious)

  • Amasya (Local heirloom apples)

  • Afyon, Karaman, Kayseri and other high-altitude regions

These regions offer ideal conditions such as:

  • Rich volcanic soil

  • Abundant sunlight

  • Cold nights & warm days (perfect for color and sugar development)

Turkish apples are typically GlobalG.A.P., ISO, or Organic Certified, depending on the grower/exporter.
