Agricultural production trends in Kayseri, Turkey

Overview

Agricultural activity in Kayseri, Turkey, has shown both specific crop challenges and broader regional growth. In August 2026, the harvest of the geographically-protected Yamula eggplant began in the Kocasinan district. While the quality of the eggplant was reported as excellent, farmers noted a reduced yield caused by a root-affecting fungal disease.

On a macro level, data from the Turkish Statistical Institute indicates significant upward trends for the region. Kayseri has seen its ranking for agricultural land size rise from 10th in 2022 to 5th in 2025. Additionally, the city’s ranking in the production of cereals and other plant products improved from 11th to 5th. The number of plant products from Kayseri that rank among Turkey’s top 10 for production volume also increased significantly, rising from 8 to 35.
