Olive harvests in Turkey

Overview

Olive harvesting activities have commenced across various regions in Turkey. In Edremit, Balıkesir, the Edremit Municipality reported high oil yields from its early harvest, noting that the first pressing yielded 13.6 kilograms of oil per 100 kilograms of olives. The municipality manages approximately 176,000 trees and plans to distribute a portion of the harvest directly to consumers while selling the rest through tender.

In Mersin, a ‘Harvest of Kindness’ event was held at the Dr. Üstün Ezer Olive Gen Garden to support children undergoing leukemia treatment, with proceeds intended to fund medical needs. Meanwhile, in Eskişehir, the early harvest for Dorlion natural extra virgin olive oil concluded in Sarıcakaya. This production, managed by the Eskişehir Metropolitan Municipality, utilizes cold press methods as part of the Orta Sakarya Valley Olive Growing Development Project to support sustainable local agriculture.
