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.

## Claims

- Rainfall and strong winds have negatively impacted pollination, leading to lower expected yields for pistachios. (single source)
- Pistachio producers are being forced to sell products at last year's price levels despite increasing input costs. (single source)
- Manisa produces approximately 300,000 tons of dried raisins, representing 85 percent of Turkey's total dried raisin exports. (single source)
- Due to sufficient rainfall and lack of natural disasters, grape yields are expected to reach 300,000 to 350,000 tons. (single source)
- Improved climate conditions are expected to result in a hazelnut yield of approximately 89,000 tons in Sakarya. (single source)
- An estimated 17,000 to 20,000 seasonal agricultural workers are expected to arrive in Sakarya for the hazelnut harvest. (single source)
