“Turkish apple exports mainly went to India, Russia and Syria”
Their first apple export season in 2021 had its challenges, but Turkish produce exporter Ani Tarim is very confident about the current Turkish apple season, says Mehmet Çakmak, sales and marketing manager for the exporter.
“Our ongoing apple and pomegranate export programmes make us quite happy, so far both seasons have been on a good level. In the first year of our apple export, which was the 2021-2022 season, there were some challenges we faced and had to cope with, such as difficulty of working with small-scale growers, a narrow customer portfolio and irregular shipping programs. Thankfully, those challenges helped us to plan better in our second season, from the blossom period to harvest period, by communicating with our growers more closely, reaching new customers and markets and organizing the loadings with shipping lines in a coordinated fashion.”
