Turkish chestnut harvest season
Overview
The chestnut harvest has commenced in several regions of Turkey, including Sinop and the Kastamonu province.
In Sinop’s Erfelek district, favorable seasonal conditions have led producers to expect an increase in yield. Initial market prices for the Erfelek chestnut are reported between 500 and 800 Turkish Liras per kilogram, though sellers expect prices to drop as supply increases.
In Kastamonu, harvesting has begun across coastal districts such as Abana, Bozkurt, and Doğanyurt. Producers report increased yields following interventions by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry to control the gall wasp pest. In the Doğanyurt district, the chestnut trade generates an annual income of approximately 20 million TL. Current prices in Kastamonu range from 250 TL to 350 TL per kilogram, with the produce being distributed to various cities including Istanbul and Samsun.
