Persimmon harvests in Turkey
Overview
The persimmon harvest season has commenced across different regions of Turkey. In the Kozan district of Adana, producers report a significant increase in productivity, with yields expected to rise by 60 to 70 percent compared to the previous year. Kozan is a major industry hub, supplying approximately 20 percent of Turkey’s fresh persimmons and 50 percent of its dried persimmons. The establishment of local drying facilities has facilitated increased international exports.
In the Çiğdemlik village of Amasya, the harvest has also begun. Local residents, who refer to the fruit as “yellow gold,” utilize the crop as a primary source of income. While agricultural frost prevented a harvest last season, this year has seen high yields. Villagers are adding value to the crop by drying the fruit naturally, as dried persimmons command a higher market value than the fresh variety.
