Alanya avocado production and branding

Overview

The 2026-2027 avocado harvest season has begun in Alanya, Turkey, starting with the early-ripening Clifton variety. While regional yields are expected to increase two to three times compared to the previous year, the Clifton variety has experienced a yield reduction to half of last year’s levels due to seasonal fruit drop.

Agricultural officials and the Alanya Chamber of Agriculture are managing the season by implementing price-setting models based on fruit weight and warning producers against premature harvesting to maintain quality.

In a move to increase international recognition and protect local producers, the Alanya Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ALTSO) has officially submitted an application for the European Union Geographical Indication for Alanya avocados. This branding initiative aims to transform regional agricultural products into global brands.
