Turkish agricultural harvest outlooks

Overview

In late July 2026, Turkish agricultural producers for grapes and hazelnuts were awaiting official price guidance from the Toprak Mahsulleri Ofisi (TMO). Grape producers in the Aegean and Manisa regions anticipated a sharp rise in dry-grape yields, while hazelnut growers in the Black Sea region expressed concerns that early harvesting could impact quality. Economic uncertainty persisted as stakeholders called for specific support prices to sustain the sectors.

By late August, the outlook for various Turkish agricultural sectors showed mixed results. While the grape industry in Manisa expected a highly productive season with yields between 300,000 and 350,000 tons due to favorable weather, the pistachio sector faced challenges. In the pistachio industry, adverse weather such as heavy rain and strong winds hindered pollination, leading to concerns over lower yields and reduced kernel ratios. Conversely, the hazelnut industry in Sakarya projected a positive season with an estimated 89,000 tons, marking a significant improvement over previous years affected by frost and pests.
