Walnut production in Turkey is impacting both regional economies and consumer markets. In Mersin, a significant surplus in harvest yields has driven walnut prices to historic lows, dropping from an initial range of 200 TL to 300 TL per kilogram down to 150 TL per kilogram. This price decrease has provided some relief to local residents amidst general inflation.

In other regions, such as the Dinar district of Afyonkarahisar, walnut cultivation serves as a major economic driver, with approximately 100,000 trees producing 2,000 tons annually for supply to major cities and the confectionery industry. Additionally, in Kemer, some producers are using walnut harvests to support community ties through barter and distribution to those in need rather than focusing solely on commercial profit.
