Potential almond production and development possibility of domestic consumption and export in Turkey

Sengul S., Emeksiz F.

Almond production in Turkey fluctuated between 32,000 to 48,000 metric tons in the 1980-1998 period, and it was 34,000 metric tons in 1998. Production still has not realized the desired levels although Turkey has the right ecological conditions. Production under dry conditions and the lack of mass plantations are the two main reasons for this shortcoming. Almost all of the produced almonds are consumed domestically. Despite the fast growth rate in the world markets, Turkey's almond export is growing very slowly and it is very unstable. In this study, almond production, consumption and export potential of Turkey are estimated, and the almond sector is analysed using the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis technique.
